Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish

Norway, Sweden, Austria, Hungary, Luxembourg, and others have it as part of law that Works Councils get 33% of the seats on the board of directors, and employees are elected to take up those roles. In Slovenia, Germany, and Slovakia, it is as high as 50%. That’s the kind of ownership we should demand and then some, where average people get to have a say in what’s going on at YouTube. Then maybe we’d get more ethical business decisions and choices we’d be more on board with.

This reminds me of how certain universities in the US allow space for Student Senate representatives so that the student body directly has influence on the outcomes of the university. Great idea really
