    It’s not tech. It’s capitalism.

    God damn, I feel like this is the same as that other shit article.

      Why are people so stupid, lol. Oh wait life is literally marketing in 2020. I don’t even know if I’m alive anymore. Do me a favor and check my seo and engagement.

      It’s like every issue is just privileged assholes complaining that the way they raped Earth and lives didn’t work out for their good.

      The article is literally about the problem of ownership being too concentrated and wealth overruling people with knowledge of businesses. “Tech” here doesn’t mean technology it means the big tech companies.

      Somehow people haven’t been convinced that just because a phone or computer is inserted it’s a totally different thing. Crypto is just money with extra steps and a digital device, ride sharing is just splitting a cab, streaming is just cable split into a few pieces. Products barely changed, just shiny new conmen out front pushing the products.
