MODERATORS
Making money is not a goal on lemmy, so why should there be more rewards than entertainment?
If you want to make money, you have to look elsewhere. Crypto was an idea, but as we know, not sustainable.
If you don't find something, build it. Think like Bill Gates: build a platform where everybody can earn something. Don't keep everything for yourself.
Edit: Don't think like Bill Gates. Just consider the idea of not squeezing out all profits for yourself, which, ironically, I have first read as a quote of him.
So you're telling me I should get into eugenics and strive to blame all the world's problems on the people outside the imperial core breeding too much?
No, he's telling you to get into some really fucked up pedo shit with
you should think like Bill Gates and play 9/11 in minecraft
Millions must never remember
Think like Bill Gates: use monopoly power to drive all your competitors out of business then write your own antitrust settlement where you pinkie swear to be a good boy for five whole years.
The key part is that Bill Gates made the conscious decision to leave profits on the table for others. I haven't heard that advice from anybody else.
That said, there are many more evil things like breaking the platform promise and taking over app categories. But there is no need to copy those ideas.
Bruh you just told people to think like a billionaire pedophile eugenics guy and you really need to address that before we talk about anything else.
Changed. Better?
I forgot the pedophile allegations and haven't heard about the eugenics. The critique is correct and that background information makes me feel bad for the phrasing.
The phrasing was meant for the billionaire part, though. When a person is all about making money and that person stresses how important it is not to be greedy when building a platform, then that's something to remember.
Not my favorite anything.
About that money on the table, that's for building a platform. A vaccine is no platform. That's why he took it.
It shows how calculating he is. It also shows how few compassion is needed to build a platform.
To add another hustle platitude: imagine what a person with compassion could build.
The entire point of this thread was someone dreading the kind of hustlegrindy monetize-everything bullshit that you came here to heap onto it.
Skullduggery from your favorite pedophile billionaire is acceptable to you as long as it is skullduggery that plays out according to excerpts from your sacred book of profit.
What compassion? Or is that the point: your favorite billionaire pedophile saint of profit didn't need it to make you fawn over him and his sacred ways?
A person with compassion and means would demolish the entire corporate police surveillance state that your favorite pedophile billionaires have forced upon the rest of the world.
That's so very much more evil than anything that happened at Little St. James during Bill Gates' return visits, huh?
The idea that Bill Gates left money on the table for others with Microsoft isn't just wrong, it's so exactly the opposite of reality that it boggles the mind. Did he leave money on the table for other DOSes with windows 95? For other office suites with MSOffice? For Netscape with bundled IE?
Where did you get such a comprehensively false idea from?
I read it in an interview years ago.
The office suits and the browsers are indeed among the apps that were taken over. The money was made by all the other commercial apps, and games.
I should say that I don't support that abuse of power.
This just in: billionaire pedophile eugenics guy lies
Just take the L, accept your corpo hustlegrind clown show isn't being received well, and stop dodging labels the way a failed carnival act dodges produce thrown by the audience.
That's just a lie you are a liar
Edit: or a credulous fool
So, again, more empty hustlegrind slogans.
If you walked out of your bubble and pitched those at a homeless person, you'd be lucky if all you got was spit on.
Like a child predator and frequent flyer at Little St. James that used "philanthropy" to wreck the United States public school system and broker eugenics experiments in impoverished countries? The one that made sure covid vaccines remained locked down under patent? I refuse.
