Comment on Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast”
ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 11 months agoIt’s always the same exact same lazy argument with corporate bootlickers.
“DoNt BuY iT!!!1!”
“CorPoRaTiOnS NeEd To MaKe MoNeY!!”
“YoU ArEnT EntTitLeD tO AnYThIng!!!”
“X,Y,Z IsNt A HuMaN RiGhT”
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think you may be the only person in my life that's described me as a corporate bootlicker.
Apparently telling a consumer to vote with their wallet is somehow pro corporate?

Its cause you’re parroting bootlicker shit right now.

Yes, it is. Because it ignores the reality of living in society. A kid that grows up without access to pop culture shows etc is bullied and harassed because they’re different and don’t fit in.
It ignores the reality that viable alternatives to ad supported content are becoming harder to find, creating a situation where people have to choose between a social disconnect and supporting a funding mechanism that they don’t agree with.
If “voting with your wallet” is the only option, then nothing changes in the consumers favour, because that’s the reality of capitalism.

Piracy is voting with your wallet.
