    They’re a social media site, brand is incredibly important.

    Nobody is job networking on reddit, nobody is dating on LinkedIn, and nobody keeping in touch with their highschool friend’s on Tinder.

    The brand dictates how you use the business model. Onlyfans tired to pivot away from cyber-prostitutes but couldn’t beciase that is their brand.










  • Statistics abuse is a big one too.

    One time I was pointing out how London is less than brilliant, and the person just kept relying “look at how much money London makes though!”, as if that makes any difference on the living quality of most people or the effect London and Londoners have on the rest of the country.




  • I would argue ability to provide a service is in it’s self an abstract form of capital.

    Time, energy and willpower can also be viewed as a capital. There’s a reason business owners will pay people to be doing work they could easily do themselves. And I think it’s important that we as a society recognise that any time or energy spent transactionally should be properly compensated.

    Of course we shouldn’t fall for the trap of trying to maximise and optimise every last ounce of capital in our lives, its important to learn to let go of our posessive human nature. But we should appreciate when we are giving and taking things to and from other people.


  • That’s a vague platitude.

    Capitalism works becuase we live in a transactional reality. Food could not grow on trees of the tree didn’t take capital (I.e. resources such as nutrients from the soil, light and heat from the sun) to grow that apple. If farmers did not account for the resources the tree needs the tree would simply die.

    The issue with capitalism today is that we over apply it and forget to help people who truly need help, and thanks lobbying by sociopathic business owners, we have created a system where we much engage with learned sociopathy to survive and function. We look down at the homeless sick and needy and invent backstories to justify their suffering. They must be drug abuses, violent, lazy, etc cetra.
