      The consolidation of big budget mass media has never been greater Disney is buying all the remaining household names to make into one juggernaut Movie theaters have to show the big tentpole MCU shit or show nothing at all

      I mean if we were arguing about anything else, like the economy generally instead of just "the creative industry", this would be a straightforward so-called "neoliberal" argument "Yeah we had lots more unions back in the day but also more racism, so hey"

      "Is it possible to have unions without racism? No one knows for sure but let's just assume it's unlikely and that the way everything is now is for the best"

      The Flipside is equally unknowable? Like maybe in a magical world we keep both the gatekeeping required to lock down copyright and somehow also remove the part where those gates keep the queers out but.... based on what?

      Okay so I actually want to know what the hell you mean by this In what sense did piracy actually make it easier for queer people to get paying media jobs, or for queer people who DON'T get paying media jobs to make stuff for free

      Piracy is a side effect of accessibility, one that cannot be eliminated without eliminating that accessibility. The thing that makes it easier for people to get stuff is the same thing that makes it easier for people to create and publish stuff. Not sure what part is confusing

      Okay, well, I disagree No one actually wants to set off a giant EMP and make the Internet as a whole never have existed, people (including Tim Berners-Lee) just wish it hadn't been designed with the assumption all data on it was for everyone to share

      The fucked up thing about Web 1.0 was that it was easy as pie to just put stuff online but controlling and curating access to it was a big tangled mess, which meant having any kind of career (even a non-commercial one) was very hard

      Which is why Web 2.0 is in fact a story about the middlemen and the gatekeepers coming back and becoming extremely rich and powerful What Doctorow calls "the stacks", the narrowing of the web into a few sites controlled by billionaires

      Why should some bearded hipster dude take a massive cut of what everyone on Patreon makes just for providing a server and a brand name Why did blogs vanish in favor of an account you make on Facebook, Medium or Twitter

      There's a lot of reasons but one of them is that fundamentally the Web was never designed with the idea that you control the stuff you put online in mind, and that control was valuable enough that the market turned a bunch of randos into billionaires for providing it
