When you think about it, the modern internet resembles a welfare state. Everyone's day to day sustenance is sponsored by a few wealthy benefactors, meanwhile they essentially hoover up what remaining potentials there is. There could be so much more than what we think is possible now.

A welfare state works for the benefit of its people, at the cost of business. The internet is precisely the opposite.

I think that’s probably more aptly described as serfdom than as a welfare state
