Making money is not a goal on lemmy, so why should there be more rewards than entertainment?
If you want to make money, you have to look elsewhere. Crypto was an idea, but as we know, not sustainable.
If you don't find something, build it. Think like Bill Gates: build a platform where everybody can earn something. Don't keep everything for yourself.
Edit: Don't think like Bill Gates. Just consider the idea of not squeezing out all profits for yourself, which, ironically, I have first read as a quote of him.
Choose and make the winners. Exciting stuff on the internet is not exclusive. On lemmy, everybody wins.
You have two rhetorical questions. You must know that competition ceases within an oligarchy and that my point was to argue for competition and not oligarchy.
Thanks for the exchange.
In which housing market without limited supply do prices balloon?
Do you expect me to believe that competition doesn't work at all? We started this discussion with reduced wages due to increased competition among workers.
Do you want to introduce socialism to prevent competition entirely?
The atomic bomb, Stalin had to stop.
But that suggests that capitalistic meddling brought the sovjet union down. The primary question should be how the sovjet union could have kept the lead.
Those problems don't help to fix the import problem.
Housing, healthcare, insurance - it is expensive because there is not enough competition - or socialism.
Mark Cuban's pharmacy changes the market. In the same way, somebody could organize resources and create broad competition for all housing and healthcare markets.
You are sure that I don't know enough. How do you know that your knowledge about economy is enough or whom to trust to run socialism?
Now it's up to you to take a shot at creating the next exciting thing. Aim high and give all you can to succeed.
Money is not fake in international trade. Resources can be delivered to other countries.
And yet China managed to survive. Of course there are external factors but it's important to know which internal decisions could have led to success.
Processors, internet, renewable energy, etc. Maybe winning the space race prevented success in other areas?
The key part is that Bill Gates made the conscious decision to leave profits on the table for others. I haven't heard that advice from anybody else.
That said, there are many more evil things like breaking the platform promise and taking over app categories. But there is no need to copy those ideas.
