I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    All true tho… But with some NUANCE:

    1. Netflix and such made a REAL impact in visitors to torrent sites. But half the world doesn’t have 9.99$ to spend each month

    2. If you really don’t use more as your browser, why pay premium for 20gb of ddr5?

    3. Comunism is a fantastic idea. However it’s leaders are ALWAYS corrupt. Always.

      1. I used to agree with you, but then I came across Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso.

      It’s the only example I know of where communists make an honest attempt to reduce the disparity in wealth rather than exacerbate it.

        Yes, some make honest attempts.

        But unfortunately people arnt motivated by a motivator.

        They want money and future prosperity for them and theirs.

        (CONTROLLED) capitalism is the only option.
