Big tech companies are greedy. They would sell their grandmothers for a dollar. If they can make $0.99 instead of $1 they're going to wave their dicks settings and hope everyone just caves buy ultimately they aren't going to be willing to give up that $0.99.

Only a dollar? That doesn't sound very greedy.

Big media companies aren’t any less greedy

The classic, "No you are!" defense.

Not entirely. Your comment seemed to be trying to attribute blame based on nothing more than a measure of greed.

I was simply saying that no one side has a monopoly on greed in this scenario - so you’d need a bit more than that to try and figure out who’s in the wrong.

Correct, both sides act on greed. Seemed like an obvious statement, but at least you’ve finally caught up.

Wasnt insisting anything. You’re the one who posted in agreement that both side act out of greed.

Oh, so you weren’t implying that? What was your position then?

[-] TA202301@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

My position is that you have nothing but a bunch of tired clichés. They don't work when the person you hurl them at calls them out instead of taking the bait.

[-] geoken@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

No, I mean your original position.

I interpreted as google is to blame because they are greedy. Was that your position, and if it was do you think google has a monopoly on greed (which would seemingly be necessary for you to use greed as the sole factor in determining fault).

[-] TA202301@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I knew exactly what you meant and exactly what you were trying to do and shot you down.

[-] geoken@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah, you used some edgy camel case while completely missing the point. I’m sure the red baron would be jealous of how hard you shot me down.

Why are you still here?
