Even the spammiest “brands” at the end of the day are trying to get me to advertise some kind of usb-c cable or charger.

You are asking me to advertise nothing beyond the concept of FOMO and fake digital scarcity.

I have more respect for the diamond industry.

"It’s a movement driven in no small part by rage, by people who looked at 2008, who looked at the system as it exists, but concluded that the problems with capitalism were that it didn’t provide enough opportunities to be the boot."

YouTube feels like a blog where attachment goes to the creator and you split revenue in exchange for hosting+discovery

TikTok feels like Twitter where addiction goes to the platform and creators get revenue by trying to slide people over to side hustles

What happened? Why is internet punk now all about artificially creating scarcity?

Remember when Napster was punk because it knocked down the walls of scarcity and access created by record companies?

We went from "fuck you, capitalism" to "let's make more capitalism."

What are the other markets or products that are like car rentals, where there are only 2 or 3 companies that dominate, but they have lots of little sub-brands, so consumers think it’s a more varied market than it really is? Funeral homes, what else?
