I don’t think this is a great argument. While the greed of corporations is in no doubt, and engage in unethical and annoying behaviour to fleece, us the users, of as much money as possible, work was still required to produce the product.
YouTubers for example work to produce videos, can anyone really claim we shouldn’t have to pay for their work? (sign up for direct support if you can afford it via things like Nebula)
I dunno, seems like a flimsy argument to me.
A better argument is that the companies are shit, fuck them, just steal it if you want to.
Yeah. Sure, people can make yotube videos for fun, code for fun erc. But if you want to do that thing you enjoy full time, it’s just not feasible to not get paid for it.
