    In the context of capitalism.

    Passive income as in dropshipping, shitty digital content, rent and, to a lesser extent, investing (bonds, stocks, etc) is indeed useless to society, is merely grifting other people out of their money. These are nothing more than economic rent

    Passive income as in providing a material service, i.e. purified water vending machines that process raw tap water into clean water, are imo decent practices and contribute to improving society.
