  • If it happens gradually, then some will go out of business while others will modify the ordering to appeal to those with money. If it happens suddenly that people don’t have money to spend, then governments will try to bail them out with public money, thus accelerating the public’s descent into poverty and then some will go out of business while others will modify the offering, etc.

People with power and money increase their power and money both when thighs go well and when they go bad. Unfortunately more so when they go bad.

    Unless, of course, the French Revolution happens.








  • I don’t think hanging on to a prediction that didn’t come true makes sense even if it is painful to accept it. It’s much better if you accept the reality as it is and form a new world view based on it. Some people left the platform, myself included, but a lot of other people subscribed.

    To be honest, it didn’t matter to me either. I left netflix because they started charging 20Eur/month in my country and that’s just outrageous. To put it in perspective, AppleTv+, Disney and Prime cost me a combined 16Eur/month and I get free deliveries too. Fuck netflix.
