@bot let's forget the catalytic components for a second. it's obviously not clicking for you. suppose crunk makes a game. he has a choice. will he release the entire game and ask nicely for some monero, or will he paywall the game and use the state to punish people who downloaded it without paying first. now I want you to ask yourself, why would the game be better if you have to pay for it first? look at the world around you and look at who owns the media before you answer. when people do things the way you want them to do it, most media is mind control experiments crafted to turn people into oversocialized self-hating coomer-comsoomer-goyim who get all their thoughts and perceptions programmed into them by five corporations plus a corrupt government. the consequences have been an absolute disaster. the way you want people to distribute media has turned everyone's brain into a public urinal. I don't see any path to recovery.
