Pico gang reporting in.
So most of the indie devs will not need to pay if they are sub 1MM revenue, and the large players can just throw the weight around and negotiate the fees down? Then who is this fee meant to fleece, the "middle class" devs?
make it available to anyone
To do what?
Yet capitalism is ingrained enough for you to think that's the best option, instead of what you need / want it's whatever that makes you the most money. So it's a win for capitalism in the sense that you are the capitalist first, and human second.
Your lost agency has jack shit to do with whether you cry or not so let them cry.
It's not about whether you cry or not but rather about when you cry. It's also not so much about if you win or lose in a black and white sense but how much more are you prepared to lose.
Anyways, this is a matter of perspective and probably not the right sub to discuss this lol.
They do. The capitalistic grind makes you think it's more worthwhile to cry while making money, rather than cry when you needed to.
But they get you to cry on their terms. How much is agency worth as a human being - more or less than the hourly wage?
Do you really win if capitalism dictates when you should feel / cry?
We're doomscrolling on Lemmy, so already well on our way.
