Advertising in general has been a growing revenue stream for Apple from my understanding. That "anti-tracking" they added a few iOS versions back also conveniently increased Apple's ad revenue because other advertisers didn't get the same data that Apple would just have by default.

Because we live in reality and there's no such thing as a perfect state

Bots and lack of mods on different timezones most likely.

Would probably make sense to have an account age requirement and comment requirement before posting somehow.

Or just let the developer decide what they think fits their game best? Not every product is for every person, and that's fine really. Trying to broaden appeal is good, but you don't want to spread resources so thin that you end up with a mess.

Main concern is the lack of regulation on the actual materials being used to make the products.

What exactly makes you think that communism is going to remove people having power over other people? That seems to just be intrinsic to humans in general, your economic system isn't going to change that.

And you can absolutely have social support systems in place if the populous pushes for them. Homeless shelters and welfare aren't impossible ideas, they're actively implemented across the world. The same goes for basic needs like healthcare.

Just because your government or community hasn't implemented it doesn't mean it's not possible to do so. It means you need to convince those around you that it's a good idea.

Okay - you're just arguing something completely different at this point.

My point was just that this post proposes a solution that doesn't actually solve anything and just makes new problems.

If you're incapable of working then you take advantage of the social safety nets that your government or community provides.

I never said I was against having supports in place for those who are unable to work?

Depending on the desirability of the work compared to the compensation yes it seems to be working pretty well

In my home town a sanitation worker makes double the provincial minimum wage and gets benefits. That's an incentive for a job that has a low barrier to entry but undesirable labour.

The benefit of this system is that you can in fact choose this role instead of being assigned it based on the requirements of society. If the compensation isn't tempting enough then the employer will increase the compensation until it makes sense. That's how it's supposed to work at the very least.

If the current implementation isn't working then you address the issues with the implementation, you don't tear it all down and try something completely different.

I don't need any sins, my knees buckle under the weight of my own body just fine.

Depends what we're substituting those templated values for.
