that’s somewhat the thesis of varoufakis in ‘technofeudalism’.
not endorsing the book. i am still very unsure abt it. but … maybe you wanna know?

hey sorry, i wasvery buisy. plus i read varoufakis with half sn eye ‘ages’ ago. as farasi can recall he thinks of cloudspace in an analogy of land. a space in which economic activity of societies increasingly takes place, so that those who own the compute basically control all human activity, like landlords did.
they don’t just dominate a market like a monopoly would, but they own the market like feudal lords would.
iam unsure about this bc cloudspace is a machine. it requires work to run snd maintain. it is capital not land. though, the new dominance of tech corpos over communication and with it markets is indeed a new phaenomenon?
