The problem with this comic is that it could apply to anything

Yeah, it’s proper good.

Yes, and also video/audio content is much more ripe for copyright claims than image/text content, since it’s all owned by giant corporations. For example the music version of all the art bots now was only trained on royalty free/copyright free music… I wonder why.

To be honest most of the content on Tiktok and Youtube is fucking awful. But advertisers will pay a lot more for unskippable video ads than they will to Reddit.

Youtube has advertisers on individual videos which requires more moderation than endless text posts.

Or to put it another way; video advertisers ask for a lot more than just crappy spam reddit post ads.

In what universe is paying people for something they are willing to do for a free a sustainable business model?

Why would they??

Well… I mean I’m not having kids either, but someone has to to continue the species, nobody needs to eat meat.

Cycling is cool but that’s small-fry compared to if we all went vegan (or even just vegetarian)…

And that doesn’t apply to liberals and every other ideology on this site? Every person has a political view which affects their opinions

We already live in a nightmare capitalist autocracy and people still fearmonger about the USSR.
