@skyblond I see as the level above or next levels from people paying others (like me imagine) and talking to me, and not giving it over to BigBusiness...

Otherwise we're building on that for them somewhat and not ourselves if it all -

So I conclude that if we don't have an equivalent system and answer (like literally similar advertising farms for good, paying process, subscriptions, kudos, belief, secrecy, buddying-up) then we all starve and don't even start tackling the moving *FROM Capitalism* TO funding a New-Ism.. That's how the New grows, like Black Rights movements did as they chipped in together and went with Capitalism somewhat and did stuff together as the main.

So rather than just pirate or break Hollywood or even just consume it's just theirs in the end (so not knocking it all but when you start making comics yourself or helping fund others away etc etc and then those people go away from giving it to Google, DRM, BigTech,,, then you / we start to add to another system which you don't even have to call New (it will grow itself!). Hope that makes sense.

I'm growing trees from the seeds of fruit so very much in the growing mindset, even if many of my seeds don't grow- I have literally a whole tree of Cherry pips / seed so my chances are increased or inverted by sheer determination :)

More about copying things....
I was even copying / getting free stuff, driving games and lots of Hollywood movies and then realise like Neo, "No" and stick to mostly homegrown / self-made stuff at least to give things a chance... increment another way... (don't ask how it's going but there isn't a better way so far I see than this last paragraph).
