    Especially his Pathgologic video

    YouTube wanted me to watch this so bad. I thought it was good, but I had never heard of Pathologic before the video. I think I’m just not interested in that genre of content.

    Im anti-IP too but smaller creators need protection from theft whilest capitalism still exists.

    Theft of what? If I publish a video reading out your article, what was stolen from you? I understand the sentiment, but there’s limited tangible impact. The discussion on AI produced content is more interesting because it introduces systemic components & is capable of copying & pre-empting creators at scale.

      The way writers get more money is through notoriety, when you steal a writer’s work without saying they made it you claim the notoriety for yourself and effectively get to steal future roles and credibility that would have given them money.

      Writers build a moneyed career slowly over time, being paid for good articles isn’t the point and isn’t why they do it, they do it to build for future positions and security. In this lense it’s easy to see that yes, it is literally bourgeois behavior to steal uncredited labor to build your own enterprise.
