So a friend linked an insta and some of these fuckers in the comments...
This app exists because of capitalism
Starting with an L is not a good look?
our phones exist because of capitalism
kind of unprovable, though capitalism sure is cool with extracting REMs with child labor
these guys can make stupid videos because of capitalism.
pretty sure you don't need a profit incentive to create a stupid video. However, only profit incentive can give us Five Minute Crafts and pregnant Elsa spiderman.
Without capitalism there would be one phone created by the government
As opposed to either The Expensive Phone With Dumb Features and 500 Near Identical Cheap Phones That Track Your Every move?
one app for entertainment created by the government
As opposed to the functional monopoly enjoyed by YouTube? Though, of course, he may have streaming services in mind...
and one form of content created by the government
Even if you look at Stalinist USSR, they didn't go all-in on one art form or, say, only ever produce war movies. MCU has done more to homogenize cinema than any Soviet bureaucrat could ever dream of
No freedom of creativity
Art, notably absent before invention of capitalism
and no opportunity to make money or become rich for our ideas.
You don't even need to look at Google buying out the competition or plagiarizing smaller companies into the ground or the fact that Patreon makes most of its money from a very small percentage of Patreon artists that actually make money. You just need to see the brain-rot indicating word opportunity
Just funny to watch a bunch of content creators/ artists make fun of capitalism when you are all capitalists.
