In feudal times peasants had to “their grain ground at their lord’s mill, a service for which they had to pay.” The lord extracted value “through #monopoly, coercion, and rent.” “Digital platforms are the new watermills, their #billionaire owners the new lords, and their thousands of #workers and billions of users the new peasants.” #JodiDean
Lord #ElonMusk does whatever he wants at #Twitter and the peasants line up to pay him with attention, data, and money. #Resist #Neofeudalism #Neoliberalism #IAmNotASurf
