  • its a simplified example, where the boss of the worker can barely break even and depends on the surplus he gets from waged labor to make a profit, machines let the worker make more product in less time, which means, for less wage and gives him more surplus

    in the case the machinery would let the worker make 100 chairs for 1g instead of 2, then the exchange value for 100 chairs would go from 950g to 901g and the time to produce them would go from 50 days to just 1

    EDIT: if the change of machinery is sudden then the boss can get away with still selling 2 chairs for 19g and have 49g as surplus a DAY, until market pressures take his surplus away

    if the worker was eliminated you could cut time shorter and shorter but not reduce cost through wage labor, and in a saturated market competition would barely let you break even












  • once corporations noticed the profitability of the internet, they wanted in on it, to make profit through it.

    the fastest way to make money through something is that people use it more than anything, make them mad and looking at drama, to increase conflict so you have to see a 12 part analysis on why did [important youtuber] fucked his cat or whatever. its a process that was happening even before 2012, the fact that it wasnt obvious then does not mean it wasnt happening.

    youre also experiencing nostalgia of a time you were unburdened by a lot of things. gamergate was fairly big by then.

    it couldnt have happened any other way.

    now you can just hope that someone tries to revive that atmosphere in a obscure mastodon instance or something. https://sadgrl.online/ is a site that helps with learning to do website stuff if you want to make a little shrine of those times. hope this helps
