i like how tim pool's new video basicly explains the biggest problem with ancapitalism

theres no democracy when everything is privately owned

Mmm, mostly.

theres no rights when everything is owned

He did take a stab at free market capitalism

a slight stab

#NotRealCapitalism

at risk of sounding like a dirty commie, what we're under right now is Corporatism.

a slight stab on the heart is quite serious 😛

I do firmly believe in anti-trust and anti-monopoly measures as well.

and Google is, by far, way too powerful.

wtf are you going to do though

google is a hard company to split up

they rely heavily on software and human resources distributed across all branches

Actually, Google has made several 'acquisitions' over the years, which is one reason they're so massive.

That's their problem, not the law's.

first you take away youtube, then you break adsense off of it

@Arch-Fiend youtube doesn't make them money

making youtube, google, and adsense all 3 different companys would be a big move

thats not the point of demonopolization

adsense heavily relies on internal google services

splitting them up would cripple the service

That's too bad.

i mean you can do it but it will have really bad consequences for the internet as a whole

doesent matter that youtube doesent make them money, it does make revanue, just not as much as it costs to maintain, it makes about half of what it costs and yet at the same time its valued, that value is the problem and if you are going to bust a monopoly you have to start somewhere and thats the biggest link next to adsense

your alternatives are owned by even shadier corporations that have the same moral bankruptcy as EA

also youtube would make more money if it wasent attached to google. but it would have to change, thats why its attached to google, because there is no risk in that relationship

They don't have the power or influence that Google does, though.

the only risk youtube has with google is slow decay which doesent matter to the people up top, their lifespan wont suffer those consaquences

It'd be good enough if Google was required to actively provide evidence that they're at all times adhering to the First Amendment continuously.

though youtube may become a liability eventually

YouTube's worth is due to their popularity and technology, if say a large telecom company wanted to buy them it wouldn't be the free and relatively open youtube we have now

we dont have a free and relatively open youtube

yes, we do

if you think we do you live in a fantasy

compare to fucking vimeo

or any other video sharing website

their moderation is *fucking horrid*

moderation of what?

mostly taking down copyrighted content

vs copy right laws?
