What does that have to do with my comment?

Videos games aren’t like food or housing. If you want to buy a game you can look up all the different sites selling it and buy from which ever one you think is best.

Goal post.

What do you mean it doesn’t exist? Epic got me to download their launcher because they were selling gta 5 for free. How could I have found that out if I only play on steam???

If there’s a genuinely good product that’s popular because it’s good. There’s no need to step in and give shittier products more share in the market.

The point in breaking up monopolies is to be more fair for consumers. If you want to say they’re technically a monopoly because they have a large share of the market then fine. But I don’t see that as a bad thing until it starts abusing its power.

That’s only for steam keys.

If they do anti-competitive behaviour then that would make them a monopoly.

“Steam is so popular because they’re good not because they’re a monopoly”

“Oh yeah? Well what if Steam was a monopoly? They would be a monopoly then right!”

It’s weird because normally having a monopoly is really bad but all the competition pales in comparison to Steam and they actually provide a good platform. Maybe after Gaben dies Steam will go to shit but for now they’re not just the best but also doing way more than just being a place to buy games.

Everyone deserves a fair trial ffs. That’s how you prevent innocent people being thrown in jail.

It’s not though because people exploit you for your labour. People like Bezos aren’t multibillionares because they work 10000x harder than a minimum wage worker, they get that wealth by exploiting others. And people like him don’t take the first few million and retire, they hoard all that wealth because people who are willing to exploit people to thay degree and make people piss in bottles aren’t going to be people who give a shit about helping other people.

We could live in a society where you’re free to work a little harder and be rewarded for it because you have to ability to do so and any extra cash you earnt could go to helping those less fortunate who aren’t able to work as much as you do.

Under the current system “productivity” means making lots of money for your boss. If you work a job that’s valuable to society like being a teacher you still don’t get paid as much. Or if you’re an artist or you aren’t capable of working 40 hours a week you’re seen as a less productive member of society.

Being a valued member of society shouldn’t be based on working two full time jobs because if you can afford to pay all your bills and buy a nice car and house then that’s proof of your success.

Making things better for the community according to your ability to do so.

If you’re legally required to have a degree or whatever related to the topic then all you have to do is require social media sites integrate some sort of display that shows the users qualification that they can submit to these sites if they want to use their platform to discuss such topics. Then when you see someone making consistent claims without displaying their credentials you have the evidence right there to deplatform them.

I can literally go and do this right now I wouldn’t need authority.

But with an actual dedicated team they could collect this evidence and present it to a court for this issue.

Those people are not cops. I could right now investigate top youtubers to see if their platforms are being used to spread misinformation without displaying any credentials. And if you paid me to do that I wouldn’t be a cop.

Right but it’s not the only part. You’re making it seem like I want more people on the streets with the power to arrest people for whatever.

I feel like you’re confusing policing for investigating.

Why does it need a complete restructuring? Just have an agency who’s purpose is investigating these specific crimes and then rely on regular cops to handle perpetrators.

I thought that pot plant was doing a goatse at first.

Cops aren’t the same as say the FDA.

And there is harm when people take misinformed medical advice from people claiming to know better.
