Topic	Controversial Opinion #4: Automation
darkknight109 05/23/21 4:53:17 AM #213:	LinkPizza posted... For you to say stuff is free, it would need to be all. No, it wouldn't. Seriously, why would it? You claimed that no one would put their artistic creations online and make them available unless they were paid. You also claimed that automation and digitization don't make things cheaper and that "history" showed that things get more expensive over times. I proved both of those arguments wrong by pointing out that there is now a bevy of free material online that wasn't there 30 years ago. You denied that, so I gave you examples of a bunch of free stuff. EVERYTHING does not need to be free for that argument to hold true. At this point, you're deliberately misconstruing my argument just to avoid the simple truth that you have been badly proven wrong on this point. LinkPizza posted... -Videos Games: I still see no proof against what I said. That's odd, because I posted over 10,000 free games from a single site, and there are many more out there. LinkPizza posted... Not only that, but steam isn't the only platform. There's Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. All of which also have games available for free. https://blog.playstation.com/2021/03/17/play-at-home-2021-update-10-free-games-to-download-this-spring/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/store/top-free/games/pc https://www.nintendo.com/games/free-to-start-games/ LinkPizza posted... They went from $60 to $70 for most games. "New, Triple-A games" (i.e. the ones that just went from $60 to $70) are not most games. For every $70 retail game that gets pushed out, a hundred free/freemium games get released on mobile or PC or on random websites. While the highest price you can pay is now more expensive, the average price of a new video game has never been cheaper. That's simple fact. LinkPizza posted... -Online Forum & Social Media: Again, they are selling your info, so not free. Are you paying money? No? Then it's free. That's the literal definition of the word. Saying paying with information makes it not free is like saying that a free sample in a store isn't free because you had to spend time to take it from the person offering it to you. LinkPizza posted... -Podcast: I didn't agree with you. You just quoted out of context again. My actual post said, "Podcast are free... If they're on a free service. I'm aware of what you said; you still seem to be blind to the fact that this portion of it is an admission that I'm right. It was then and it still is now. LinkPizza posted... -Video Conferencing: I can't check because I don't use them. But I did ask Google and apparently, they have a plan that cost money from what I read... Some stuff isn't free =/= nothing is free. Please learn the difference. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
