This industry, like so many others, has become a target for venture capital and consolidation. It's very quickly on it's way to becoming monopolized. Which makes headlines like this to me very interesting, because I assume they're designed to push people out of the profession and practice ownership and just sell it out to a firm when they come knocking.

What is self ownership but an attempt to earn a profit? The issue isn't attempting to earn, the issue is the attempt to fully monopolize the market. I wish people saw through this more often.
