That's 'cuz most of the outrage trolls posting here are funded by China. Probably a lot of the more extreme "social justice" hypocrites are Chinese backed as well. I quite admire it really - it's excellent social destabilization propaganda.
I notice the posters who loudly denounce supposed Russian trolls, are the same folks who like throwing around obscure Russian slang terms. Coincidence?
The problem is the permissive licenses. I've made that mistake myself in the past.
Now any Free Software I write is released under the Affero license (AGPL). Akaik that license is the most viral and the least prone to capitalist exploitation.
Thank you for amusing us all with your gratuitous bold-faced text and charmingly naive conception of economics. However I was replying to noted slumlord roman_mir, not you. Please consider taking your own advice as quoted above.
Let's suppose this trend continues, and the whole online advertising business goes down the tubes. When they can no longer claim it's "ad revenue", how will Google account for all the black budget money they get from fedgov and other repressive regimes in payment for conducting mass surveillance?
TL;DR "The 'right' to 'Free speech' is a toothless legalism. Actual freedom of speech is a privilege of the financialist ruling class, their sycophants, and loyal nomenklatura. I've got mine so screw you Jack."
Welcome to the global internet! Everything is illegal somewhere. Therefore everything is illegal everywhere. You have only those rights granted by DUH LAW. Which is to say, you have no rights. Everything you say or don't say will be used against you in a kangaroo court of law. All speech is hate speech. All speech must be monitored, censored, and cataloged for later retribution. You are a pleb, you must obey. Money buys speech. But even money can't buy freedom. Resistance is futile, the dystopian future is already here. You lose. Thank you for your compliance. Fuck you very much, and have a great day!
1. Fedgov prints a bunch of free money out of thin air, calling it "Quantitative Easing"
2. Fedgov gives that free money to their friends / "campaign contributors" in the big banks
2. The big banks bid up every asset they can find, but still have piles and piles of free money sitting around.
3. Big banks can't figure or anything else to do with all that free public money - so they start giving a bunch of it to the bankers' inbred, half-wit cousins who run VC firms in Palo Alto
4. The VCs discover they've been given more money than they can possibly waste on hookers & blow. So they hire a few of their butt-buddies from the Stanford dorms to found some "startups".
5. The butt-buddies look at what other loss-making companies are doing, then do the same thing only with an even stupider company name.
6. No business acumen, nor any actual talent, are required to get a leadership role at a startup. You just have to be from the "right schools". Consequently the startups have no business model and not much ability to execute. But hey - at least this time they didn't pay "outrageous" salaries to a bunch of filthy working class nerds!
6. The startups make a handsome loss, undercut and bankrupt a few legitimate businesses, and keep on getting bigger and bigger valuations each time they return to the VC teat to suck more free public money.
7. Somewhere way up the food chain, someone in DC or New Jack City gets a little nervous about propping up so many worthless loss-making "startup" companies.
8. The steady stream of free public money starts to dry up
9. The Crash!
10. Somewhere in Palo Alto, a Stanford boy can no longer afford his Personal Ass Sanitation Assistant, and is forced to resume wiping his own butt.

Sure, sure, I believe you. How's the weather in Moscow today?
The "social justice" hypocrites who run Mozilla sure do love licking capitalist boots.
I disagree with some of the OP's points, but I don't think it was satire; nor was my reply.
The first decent proposal in this whole thread!

Now the baizou even openly express their lust for genocide. I hope trolls like this are merely (Chinese-bankrolled?) social destabilization agitprop.
How long have you been on crack?
Googledouches may be douchey, but they know where to hand out the lawful-bribes.
When a whole class of people are publicly spit upon often enough, they tend to get sick of it.

How about a city with warm weather and nice beaches, like Miami or Los Angeles? That would make working for Amazon a lot more appealing.
ranting/raving on Slashdot. Chill.

Googledouches sure do hate working people.
Thank you for elegantly demonstrating why capitalism is a curse on our people.

Perhaps paying for propaganda writers brings a better return than paying for among advertisements.
Yay police state!
One time in Tokyo, I was afraid I would have to walk more than one block to buy cigarettes. But I was wrong.
Resistance is futile. Google is always watching.
The older I get the more Communist I become. Something about experience being the best teacher...

Hey there capitalist running dog - how's that bootleather taste?
