    all the data are mine all the money is mine. mine. mine. mine.

    a totalitarian content vacuum, they created nothing : everything is written by you, linked by you and curated by you and now they want to charge you for looking at it.

    what the fuck happened to the internet.

      Capitalism got to it. Pretty simple I would say.

      It’s a cycle. Everyone wants their piece of the pie, and a lot of companies shoot themselves in the foot trying to get it. I hope more people move to lemmy. It has real long term potential.

        So if I post a link to a full length Star Wars movie, reddit now own the rights and distribution to said movie?

        That aside, their policy doesn’t mean anything if nobody is posting content for them to claim as their own and make money off of it.

      It is the only natural conclusion of the market economy and societies that use it. Just check what is happening to democratic institutions globally. :)
