Taking a tourist trip to space does not make you a real astronaut.
That's not the way the math works, regardless of how you "see it".
This was about bluesky/Twitter type social media. Things with reshare and follows to specific users, where someone you follow arguing with someone you don't will expose you to the person you don't follow.
Do you know why 30% was chosen? It was the typical cut retail took. Physical stores selling goods take that much to cover their lease, logistics in moving those good to the store and employees.
Online stores do not share most of those costs. 30% is not needed.

Fucking stupid.
Digital data is just 1s and 0s.
On and off. If you turn that laser on and off you're transmitting binary information. The receiver can interpret that. We already do that with fiber optic cable, basically. This is just removing the wire.
While I agree the cap needs to be removed. The cap is only stopping you from subsidizing more of the working class. They are not subsidizing you. The payout is also capped. You're effectively paying a portion of your contribution to boost the payout of multiple other people who contributed less during their careers
Some of them are, which is even more confusing.
No it wasn't. We were taking about streams monopoly status and epic being one of the few alternatives.

It's almost as if, when people aren't taken in shitty jobs or of necessity and constantly worrying about survival, they can find work they actually enjoy doing, without worrying as much about the compensation.
