It's all the old arguments of workers rights, capitalist exploitation and socialist ideas being played all over again from the 1800s.
Millions of workers and writers produce all the content and conduct the most labour to create the content we all consume ... yet they see none or very little of the benefit of their work. All there efforts are rewarded with little to no pay to the point where they have to leave their job or go on working with very little return. the ones producing the work eventually leave the work and the next poor Joe who takes his position is then forced to work for even less.
Meanwhile ... all the work that is being produced by low paying workers is only benefiting wealthy owners who do nothing but simply claim ownership over everything.
I'm not a communist, nor do I espouse any of their totalitarian ideas of society ... but I am a democratic socialist who believes that workers and writers have to be justly compensated, honoured and respected for their work ... especially if their work directly contributes to our functioning democracy.
