Sid 🇵🇸the good, useful internet did not make enough money. The broken, ad-blasted, unusable internet also doesn't make enough money
Nick@InternetEh Per Elvis Costello, “what shall we do with all this useless beauty?”

@InternetEh we just gotta stop people from using ad blockers and then it'll be ok
FoolishOwl@hoppet @InternetEh "Captain, the Borg are asking us to lower our shields."
extremely ant@InternetEh clearly we must create a 3rd, worse internet which might make enough money
Colinaut@InternetEh back in my teenage punk days, I used to have beat up punk jacket that I painted on it, “It’s beautiful, it must be destroyed. It’s ugly, we must build more.” Which pretty much summed up how I viewed what the capitalist system did to the world. This still holds true today, 30+ years later.
LisPi@InternetEh Maybe making money shouldn't be the goal at all?
🏴☠️ regor 🐦⬛@InternetEh I've been thinking about that as one of the flaws of the internet in general. I know subscriptions are a pain, but I wonder what the early web would have looked like with philosophy that emphasized infrastructure and development costs on a non-corp level.
Or maybe it was wanting the internet to "make money"? Wasn't the (academic) origin of what became the internet free flow of information and collaboration?
I'm just spitballing; clearly it is what it is now.
crzwdjk ✅ @InternetEh seems to be working fine for Google tbh and maybe Meta and Amazon, but not really anyone else.
noëlle (encoded in AAC)@InternetEh important thing to note that "enough money" for capitalists is the sum of all the money
Kevin Boyd (he/him) 🇨🇦@jannuary @InternetEh ... plus one dollar
Matt Palmer@InternetEh all we need to do is *ad* *harder*.
AGTMADCAT 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼🇵🇸@InternetEh Question: What if we were okay with that first option? Can we go back to that and just be okay with a little money sink, as a treat?
May Keable 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@InternetEh web 3.0 did make money, but that's because it turned out to just be crimes.
Screaming Turnip@InternetEh there was this massive network that benefits corporations immensely but yanno fuck that because it wasn't nearly monetized enough to fit with the profit ideology.

Joe Cooper 🇺🇦 🍉@InternetEh this is so sharp I think I'm bleeding.
Vired@InternetEh nobody makes enough money cause nobody makes money at all
Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦@InternetEh almost as if infrastructure is not there to make money. 
Passageiro clandestino@InternetEh No internet can ever make enough money in a system that demands infinite growth. No CEO ever said or will say "We made enough money. We can stop growing."
gkrnours@InternetEh I would expect them to be stuck at the bottom of scrooge McDuck pool and still be "meh, not enough"
Locke@InternetEh ... but at least it tried.
mivox is exhausted 
@InternetEh @rasterweb Sounds like the problem here is with the concept of “enough money,” if you ask me… 🤔
Respected Commander@InternetEh NGH! ITS NEVER ENOUGH! THE LINE MUST GO UP!!!!1
