People like us just don’t see it, they are want us on subscription plans for every service that exists. Starting from movies and series, which you don’t own anything, and once you signup you agreed with their terms, they do what ever they want, to phone where your storage space will max out, and you have to pay monthly, to upload all your videos and photos in the cloud/server.

Greed isn’t the ultimate human trait. Cooperation and curiosity are. We never would have built societies without either. We never would have advanced to the point we have without both. Everyone has greed in them, just like everyone has the opportunity to be angry or sad. But the notion that it is the ultimate human trait or somehow stronger than other characteristics is truly capitalist propaganda meant to justify their immoral hoarding of our wealth.
After all, if greed is the most natural and strongest human attribute… well, the do-nothing takers at the tippy top of the food chain can just continue to suck our blood and deprive us of our agency since it is natural.
There is a reason we don’t live in libertarian hellscapes. It is because greed is not the ultimate human trait.

Are you saying society now is not based on greed?

I know, but tell that to the all the companies with their pops up. I have 0 subs btw. But my point is not everyone knows how to deal with stuff.

I meant transferring straight from your phone files to a thumb drive or other portable drive
