How would you feel about a family who pockets 100M in fees (and who knows how much more in profit) while their investors lose 2B?

Yeah, I strongly dislike banks. But my disgust for insurances is on another level

Motorways… They should be “free” (paid for with taxes)? They should have a yearly subscription? (Swiss style) They should charge per distance traveled? (EU style) They should rely on v4v? Those who want to pay, pay? They should be run like a club, members own them, finance them and collaborate on operating them? Industries relying on (and profiting from) them should finance them and forward those costs to their customers? (Roman style, some provinces)

What’s your best example of a viable and successful v4v economy?

Are you ok with your attention being sold to advertisers in exchange of services?

What’s your strongest point in favor of subscription services?

What’s your strongest point against subscription services?

In your own words, what is so great about the #plebchain?

The Dark Ages were dark because the church ruled.

These kids will never know the feeling of finding someone’s secret porn magazines stash. The fear of getting caught, the amazement of the educational discovery, wondering why some of the pages are “glued” together. Something something farm remembers…

After the shitshow, comes the endgame.

“Don’t hate the player, hate the game” Fuck this shit… there would be no game without the players.

Over the last year, the member’s fee to #coffeechain doubled in price

Hum… no, Onlyfan is not an example of v4v. It’s an example of subscription services. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying to you (about this, and so much more)
