    More proof Rainbow Capitalism was a lie/ad campaign to take more money from queers.

    I wish I could rub this in the face of every cishet who said Rainbow Capitalism was actual progress.

      What else has such a catalog? Going to be hard to persuade creators to host their own content with ads and subscriptions.

            First I’m hearing but that doesn’t surprise me; it’s probably better than most companies you could give your money to but, in any way they could, they don’t do anything truly groundbreaking such that I can justify to myself giving money rather than just keeping said money in my pocket (and, in turn, much more likely to go to mutual aid, charities, non-profits, or coöperatively-owned or union-backed businesses).

            They could have done a more traditional coöp, open-sourced their infrastructure (even if it was just the app.!), or really emphasized a particular stance or message they as a company would stand by…but they haven’t done any of those. They basically are just offering up YouTube but as a streaming service. But that doesn’t solve the myriad of issues that make a streaming service a business that (like most businesses) prey on their customers.
