People also shouldn't have to fight a bs algorithm to be seen. Let the people decide what's good and what's not. We don't need to "Capitalize" everything.

I can't remember if these exist now or not, but there should be sites that act as community co-ops for small businesses, so it eliminates the corporate aspect. And I think that we should look towards those sites and promote them if they exist.

These companies take something beautiful and "capitalize" it. They use money making terms and turn it into a sterile business, and it shouldn't be "just a business" .

Don't get me wrong, I would love for people to make money, enjoying what they do, while doing something creative, but there has yet to be a well known place where it can be done without the exploitation from the company hosting the creatives

Ever since that happened, I hated the word "content" . It took something that people enjoy doing for a creative outlet, and turned it into a marketing strategy that needed to be commodified in order for YouTube to make money

I remember when YouTube began monetization, and then instead of people saying that they were just people who made videos, they were "content creators" and they made "content"
