lol i didn't realize that Darren Aronofsky AI-generated series they announced a few weeks ago, "On This Day... 1776" is actually 1) on YouTube, and 2) each "episode" is like five minutes long lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZDnL_a0YfQ

So is "become unmonetizable" the new "become ungovernable"?
@oddeyed @nemoest @peter @pluralistic
Rather the new "outlawed".
If they'd leave alone all things and people they cannot monetize, that would be fine, but I'd actually expect that everything unmonetizable is squeezed out of society, then life, by economic and political pressures.
The narrative of groups being parasites on the body of societey or nation (e.g. when getting social benefits, or recently by the German Chancellor Merz, when people choose to work less than 40 hours a week) --- this narrative is part of the process: Everybody else produces value, but "these people" have "to be fed by others" or are "slacking off".

Both things --- deciding you have enough and don't to accumulate more or objectively needing help --- is morally reprehensible to the libertarian/neo-liberal mind set.
