What's this bull-shittery supposed to evoke? Sympathy for your lack of understand of copyright law, or your bull-shit entitlement to CBS' content, or just how disconnected you are from content economics?

Ever run a content business? I bet no. Ever run any business? I guess not - fundamental rules of economics relies on a quid-pro-quo transaction that you seem to not understand.

Or, since geniuses like you have cracked the media market - you should start your own channel - where content is free of copyright and there's zero need for return on investment. Apply to YC while you're at it

Yes indeed. There era of entitlement is upon us - "unless CBS gives away all their free content without tracking and monetizing me, I'll illegally pirate their content - because in 2018 I'm entitled to CBS content without frills"

Here's the thing: most users don't really care. The evidence is in the author's own disapproval of the slack app - about it just being a wrapper around a website disguised as an app. Guess what, slack desktop has a LOT of traction, and paying customers!

If an app is sufficiently good on Marzipan, then the users will steer it towards becoming better if they care.

Curious why the oldest application of the blockchain - money - isn't in your list. Actually, I find it mysterious that Revolut and PayPal are more popular when Bitcoin and ethereum are freely accessible

What?! Zuck dropped a cool $21B on the app - I believe he's entitled to expect a return on investment without being bullied, using a public business model everyone knew about. Facebook isn't a non profit, and zuck is actually accountable to investors
