I’m not sure if this is new, but when I clicked on the /r/pics protest post link from the frontpage here, I was redirected to this: https://old.reddit.com/premium
I’m not sure if this is well-known or not that they’re pushing it now, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it, especially on old.reddit.
This is disrespectful to mods. I work for free, and Reddit makes money from gfs product? That’s not how capitalism works (anymore/yet).
It is actually capitalism’s favorite way to work
Yeah I have a feeling the capitalism house of cards would tumble if unpaid work was taken off the table completely
Fiduciary responsibility means maximum exploitation in all cases, all of the time.
Capitalism would look really different if it were ever satisfied with some of something, rather than all of it.
You’ve paid rent to every employer you’ve in the form of surplus value. Surplus value is just the name for the difference between what your paid, and the actual value of your work.
Every capitalist ever is trying to increase surplus value, both by increasing the value of your output, and also by paying you less. In the ideal form, you work for free making them, I don’t know, solid gold diamonds or something.
