    It can if you’re ingesting the product. If you’re ingesting the end product then value and market extractive value are the same. Either you think it’s worth the price that the creator is asking or you don’t. If you don’t, then that doesn’t mean you’re entitled to view it for free just because you think they’re asking too much. It means you don’t get to watch it and they don’t get to be paid for it.

    Everything else you said is irrelevant. The supply is the creator, not the product that the creator made. If they can’t make a living creating those products, then those products go away. Whether you want to claim that’s artificial or not is completely moot.

      Wut? I thought we abolished slavery? The fuck are you talking about?

      Lol, only if by ‘moot’ you mean ‘foundational’. All you’ve said so far is, ‘it’s stealing because that’s just the way it is’.

      Everything else you said is irrelevant.

      You’ve said this a couple times now, is this like some kind of safe word? ‘I don’t like your reasoning so I’ll just say it’s irrelevant’. LMAO.
