  It’s not about hoarding cash. It’s about privacy and surveillance. Cash is the only truly anonymous means of payment.

  Payback is fair? Even though these very digital megacorporations are just now facing antitrust lawsuits for very good reasons? The only argument for having to use these platforms as a content creator is reach. But if Google, Amazon, Meta, etc. only got their market-dominating positions by illegal means, nothing is fair about wanting payback.

  I am paying money to people creating content for me directly, even for some YouTube channels. If I were to abide by Google’s rules, I’d have to pay double. For the infrastructure & the people actually producing the content. Sorry… Why would I? I will not pity a monopolist because of their lost profits as long as I can circumvent it somehow.

  My experience in a community-supported agriculture is that it’s hard to plan ahead. In wet years we will harvest lots of pumpkins but fewer tomatoes (crops are not protected) and in dry years it’s vice verca. And the years do become more extreme regarding temperature and precipitation.

  But I think in the future we will try to grow new crops that are better adapted to arid conditions like soybean.
