    After twenty years on Steam, I've been asked three times to participate in the survey on my gaming setup, and on three occasions I played on Windows. No survey in the last five years while using Linux. :)

    I've got it twice on my work laptop, where I used it just for the messenger, back when I ran an active community for a game.

    Not sure if I want to trust that data.

    So what, give the CEO half and pay the rest to the mods? Like 1300 bucks per year without tax and fees. What would be left? 50 bucks per month? Reddit has like 75000 moderators. Some for huge Subreddits, some for small ones. Equal pay? Or what?

    Someone has to organize all that paying, many are in different countries, different tax laws. In the end, there would be like 20 bucks per month for each. You then would also require extra heavy checks for moderation quality to ensure they are worth their pay. You'd need systems to prevent abuse. If there's money involved, people become extra greedy. Just pay some of them? Only the ones working a few hours per day? Pay per moderating action? What?

    Or you just do double pay for the CEO. Seems like a no-brainer.

    Why do people expect a system designed to make a few people rich, at the cost of all other people at that, to care about poverty?

    Capitalism is doing what it's supposed to be doing. There are many ways to escape it. Nobody needs to be suffering or to be poor.

    But going after the people who are good at it isn't going to solve anything. They are good at it. No matter who you tax and how much, they'll find other ways to keep being good at it.

    You'd change nothing, you'd just make it even more difficult to change it for the next generation. This is exactly what the rich guys want. Until the gap is so big that any solution will be acceptable, even slavery and terminationa for being a drag on the system.

    You can't use capitalism to regulate capitalism. Social things have to exist on another level entirely. Just like the judge can't be the jury and executioner.
