Hilarious considering they are reddit refugees explicitly because of capitalism and the insatisble greed it stokes.
Honestly, if I was a capitalism defender, I'd go to Threads to be monetized by Zuck, but since I know zuck is a capitalist I know any niceties provided today will be pay/ad walled if the platform becomes popular the next time Zuck wants to stoke his quarterly growth/metastasis estimates.
There is no safe harbor to be had putting your faith in capitalists, only exploitation in the name of sociopathic, unquenchable greed. It's never enough, and when the chips are down and you participate, it will be taken out of your ass sooner or later.
It would be lovely if the capitalism cheerleaders could learn this through experience, but they never seem to, even after getting their ass kicked by it. Unless you hold significant capital (if you have to ask how much you need, you are not), you are not a capitalist, you are the capitalist's livestock.
This has less to do with liking capitalism than it does with self-avowed communists on the internet being insufferable.
Oh no, the open source community who worked together to create a great ecosystem for free and fto the benefit of all, in the face of data greedy capitalists are commies!
Save me from these sexy FOSS anticapitalists
Again, not the point.
