What I find interesting is it seems like we are again converging on the same service as cable. Which suggests that the best method of profiting off watching movies/tv at home is to have ad supported entertainment, with a monthly fee.

Once again, the profit motive ruins something good .

I prefer to only read the top line of a meme then post. And no that's not a Lemmy user, that's squidward

I don't think there is any data to back that up.

1st year econ says something supply demand curve something something price. But that's not true in practice

  1. And you may own one cabin but it must be used by you and cannot be rented out

Probably important to point this out: private property is not personal property.

E.g. An apartment building rented to tenants is the landlords private property. They have exclusive rights to the decisions, especially economic ones, regarding the building and the profits of the rent.

A car, book, house, pizza, are all your personal property so long as you don't owe a lender anything for them.

So no private property might look like:

The people who live in an apartment building own the building collectively and have the full right therein, but the individual units are each their own personal property.

Imagine thinking a few hundred people you disagree with is worse than a mega-corp manipulating information for profits.

I mean, he knows loads about manipulating people and being rich. Does he bring value to society?

No.
