I love how we've just looped back around to having network television again, truly the peak of innovation

    It really sucks that advertising and marketing is the primary means of monetization for “free” services/product online. And even with monetization as it is creators, don’t even get a fraction of the value from the data that these mega corporation scrape from users. The value generated from the cookies and tracking and meta-data and all that other stuff that these companies really get value from a creator gets a fraction of a nano crumb of it.

      It especially sucks when the "freemium" model is used for things that have to be paid for anyway.

        Exactly dude! Fuckin' EXACTLY! It's not enough for these companies to make 99.81% of the money, they have to make ALL of the money. We have all the shitty version of widgets, gizmos, and gadgets we read about in sci-fi novels. This modern technofuture blows.
