Buying the music and selfhosting a streaming server is an option, though obviously not for everyone

Restricting the internet based on where you happen to live can only end badly.

I do, actually

...for a few hours, until you need water. And food. And shelter.

Please don't tell me that you think people living in the woods by themselves because our extremely advanced modern society with practically limitless resources compared to nearly all of history can't provide basic needs like that for everyone participating in it is a-okay.

Exactly, automation shouldn't kick some people out of jobs and leave others just as overworked as before, it should automate things that don't absolutely need humans and just decrease the workload of (currently) irreplaceable people so that more people can work as much as one did before and still get the same salary.

Hell, unemployment as a whole should not exist in the modern era. If there's "too few jobs", decrease working hours and increase wages accordingly so the total monthly/yearly/whatever pay is the same. And if there just physically aren't enough resources to accomodate so many people having decent salaries (which is absolutely not the case right now), then we should start talking about overpopulation.

Most modern international corps (can we just start calling them megacorps now?) would fit in there

Yeah, it's insane we still have to deal with this in 2023.. and it's even worse for trans people, "transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely" and all that.

There are people who aren't financially independent yet that are facing the very real possibility of getting disowned by their family and thrown out on the street if they come out as anything but cishet. It sucks, but keeping this kind of information private can be lifesaving.
