  • None I think. I paid for all my streaming services that had these movies and shows and then have sourced everything else through originals or sources that were rentable.

    This is that whole issue with defining ownership with digital media. Movies were called the greatest financial invention of America because they only had to make a product once and could sell it forever.
    With digital media and technology increases we now have a much easier time owning our own copies.

    This is likely literally what NFTs hoped to fix to make set revenue of of each digital file and also why they failed because they are so easy to copy anyways.

    So, none, or an infinite amount, depending on if you ask me or a business major.









  • The top 10% of the population now accounts for over 50% of all economic activity. They have a level of income and reserved cash that is hard to comprehend and that just starts at $250,000 US salary and goes up from there.
    Those people are spending so freely and so completely it’s practically the entire economy and we are forced to compare ourselves to them.

    The extra annoying part is that in a population of 350million people in the US, 10% is still about 35 million people. So there is more than enough of them to compare to and for companies to aim at.

    The 90% of us are the working poor and it’s not that others are stretching their money more they either just don’t notice or care to look or have decided they have enough to spend freely without any consideration of whether they can afford it.
