    He does bring up a good point that micro-transactions in news would make a lot of sense. I would pay 10 cents (if it was easy) to read a article, but you aren’t going to get me to sign up for a “less then a cup of coffee a month” subscription.

      Every other “cyperbunk dystopia” out there be pretending that capitalists would make you pay for every breath you take.

      That’s a hella dumb take when subscriptions exist. I wish I could actually pay-by-the-breath when the reality is the best value is 5 % off quarterly payments for a million breath bundle (unused breaths non-refundable, subscription only cancelable upon giving up your firstborn, and completely unrelaredly Breathe-Easy™ just dished out a record $10 trillion in dividends to Elon Musk).
