Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally against those fucknuggets. But I would just not asses them with a higher evilness than any other company/person that’s acting in and upon capitalism.
Yeah sure, people are idiots that need to be protected (from themselves). Saying that for decades, but…that’s literally not capitalism’s job. It’s a government’s job. Ours does pretty well, but far from perfect/ideal. Yet that’s not the point.
Someone sells a product for X moneyz. I buy it and sell it for X+Y moneyz. My goal, as a buisiness, is to a) maximize Y and b) maximize the percentage of quantity i can buy of that product, so I alone can dictate the value of Y.
If I’m the producer of the item, why should I care for a diverse sellout? Seeing my product so high in demand that people pay triple the street-price is exactly what would get me hard, right?
I get it, i’m a gamer, i am victim of scalpers, i already paid triple for my last GPU and probably will pay even more for the next. But we all seem to love capitalism unless it’s fucking us? that is everything the system is for. fucking the vast majority blind.
Probably the scalper-next-door is a more grasp-able object to project hate upon than faceless bigtech?
And hate both? Yeah sure, i’m anti-capitalist. I hate both. I hate people per se. But that still doesn’t make the scalper worse than any other partaker in a lousy system.
