npub1k24sy39zjs7pccfcafcfghn0tcl96wht85tf7ygv3tv2cqa7kezqum26zw (npub1k24…26zw) It was a revelation to me when I realized that my unsatisfactory experiences as a consumer were due to the fact that capitalism delivers, not what the customer wants or needs, but whatever will generate the greatest profit for the corporation. Once you realize that, you see it everywhere: that's why (for example) corporations invest as much in "lock in" (activation codes, proprietary connectors) as in innovating their product. And why things like the Fediverse feel so refreshing.
