@Zero_Democracy I must have missed something, what's this referring to?
@Zero_Democracy @brandon we'll always have the Internet's public library https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_Genesis
@brandon Seeing the CEO of Stripe theorizing about "spotify for books" (replacing libraries) was what instigated my articulating it, but it applies to pretty much everything in that vein, in particular a lot of what Elon Musk spouts off about, Uber floating bus services etc.
