Why is Ampwall’s business model non-viable?

In the Ampwall business model the artists pay to upload their music but listening is free.

Sounds fine for hobby musicians, but not for anyone professional.

Bandcamp was sold to Epic Games who then sold it on.

The outlook isn’t great for Bandcamp, but I can’t see any better alternative that supports new artists to the same degree.

The patriot act was being prepared long before 9/11.

If someone won’t vote against fascism they are against me, yes.

What if you don’t recognise fascism?

The distinction keeps the voters happy. The parties are only superficially different.

The lobbying, corporatism and military industries are the same under both. Admit that they are in power whoever the population votes for.

The problem isn’t one election, the problem is running 50 individual elections

Not attacking you personally, but again this smells like a bullshit excuse. More people voted in America idol than in the primary and they have no problem.

Actually, I made that last statistic up, but it feels right. The point is that in 2025 there is no excuse.

Ah, I assumed denmark was also green.

WtF denmark.

PlayStation and switch don’t have a 60% market share.

EDIT: the comment above was completely inoffensive. This sort of censorship is a slippery slope.

Sure, block an annoying individual for yourself, but don’t impose that block on everyone.

Its not like its a monopoly,

It’s exactly a monopoly.

anyone else is free to make their own phone

No. There are massive barriers to entry. This is like saying that anyone can lay their own railroad.

Y no Greenland?

Can dumb flip phones provide Internet hotspots?

No no. The rule that being president means you run for your second term unopposed in your party is also bullshit.

A dwarf planet is still a planet

But there was no way to run a 50 state primary before the election with 100 days to go.

I don’t buy that excuse. They didn’t want to. Every other country in the world can organise a full election in under 100 days.

I’d add the DNC leadership to the blame.

False binary.

One of the other options was a fair open primary.

Theil is buying now but he’s a late arrival.
