I’ll go the other direction. Public libraries have large and networked collections, physical and digital, that they let you borrow for free. Why do we need to buy from Amazon and subscribe to Netflix when in theory the libraries could provide all that content?

You've been posting mostly inflammation here and we ban accounts that do that. Please stop.

Sure! Can you point out what's been inflammatory? I mostly try to keep it to conversational fidelity, so I can see how what I post can be interpreted as trolling.

This is not informative. This is pedantic.

I am sorry, I did not realize I had an obligation to constantly inform you about something. I will do my best in the future.
