  • Piracy from the big guy who’s exploiting little guys to make and sell products is fair.

    Pirating things off the little guy, who’s barely making a living is how the little guys stop making content on their own, and will instead opt to work for the big guy who can guarantee a livelihood, no matter how small. If you think you as a society isn’t contributing to it then just look around.

    And It is only getting worse. While you can fantasize about it, indie-anything who get lucky are exceedingly rare for a reason. But you won’t stop removed about how everything from the Big Bad has gone to shit. It couldn’t totally be because everyone thinks they’re entitled to others hard work, because they paid for “the internet”.

    But as always, entitled pricks are how we end up on ever more convulsive state of the world, no matter which side you’re on. So carry on, ig.









  • Internet is not a place for public discourse, it never was. it’s the game of numbers where people brigade discussions and make it confirm to their biases.

    Post something bad about the US with facts and statistics in US centric reddit sub, youtube video or article, and see how it divulges into brigading, name calling and racism. Do that on lemmy.ml to call out china/russia. Go to youtube videos with anything critical about India.

    For all countries with massive population on the internet, you’re going to get bombarded with lies, delfection, whataboutism and strawman. Add in a few bots and you shape the narrative.

    There’s also burying bad press with literally downvoting and never interacting.

    Both are easy on the internet when you’ve got the brainwashed gullible mass to steer the narrative.

  • but that’s like giving a broken iPad to a monkey. And don’t feel bad if you’re Chinese, it would be the same if any other group of people tried to make it.

    And this is why they’ve been beating every hurdle the west has put up against them. Keep equating people to monkeys and wait for them to shit you on the face. Fuck the CCP, but there are probably more people than US, Germany and the Netherlands combined working specifically in chip manufacturing in China.

    If you only ever think there’s just one solution to a problem and everyone else are monkeys scratching their ass. You give them more reasons to beat the odds.

    Keep it up though.

    Tech has gotten cheaper since China got into the race and the whining on the other side has only made it more enjoyable.
