More than money, the billionaire powers that be want to foist their worldview on everyone else.
foist their facade worldview on everyone else*
Man, I hate being foisted upon.
Are you free tonight? 😏
There’s no Section 230 for payment processors. Visa getting caught up in the Pornhub cp/sex trafficking lawsuit scared the shit out of them.
Why do they care? They’re in the debt game, and they get 2% of like half of all purchases too
They won capitalism, they’ve stacked the barriers to entry up high and taken economy activity hostage.
Now a group is pressuring them to reach further with that power… Why not normalize overreaching when they’re being invited to? They’re probably giggling at the opportunity, if it goes badly they can reverse course and blame collective shout
Hell, if this keeps happening they might as well open up a protection racket
How else would it go?
They got to this position by constantly grabbing reaching }pushing exploiting. Are they just supposed to stop when it makes you uncomfortable? When they reach the limits of the paradigm if power they were born into? Where’s the stop line, and why shoukd a corporation, something that exists to avoid responsibility and oush boundaries of exploitation, give a shit?
Why wouldn’t they look at the nature of this thing they exist to seek, to distill the concept into pure control, and look for more of that, beyond mere money?
They have a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders, not the cardholders.
I’d argue this also violates their fiduciary responsibility to shareholders as this reduces their volume.
Shareholders are interested in share prices and dividends, not volume or even revenue or profits,
They should be correlated, but look at Tesla.
There are alternative payment systems 👍
Which is kinda useless when the content stops being provided
Those are passion projects, they will keep (co/cum)ming 😅
