Creating employees is not the primary goal of education. The goal is to create thinking individuals. We can't allow the education system to only serve the interests of the business community. It's clear that they limit education to the least amount of people, because an educated citizenry is very difficult to rule. Ignorance is being weaponized in a class war and education for all would take away that weapon.

Starjacking?

I prefer them asking for money upfront instead of selling ads and becoming controlled by the people who pay for those ads.

Why is knowledge artificially limited by all these paywalls and people holding literature and books hostage to their financial interest? What is better a world where a poor kid can read any book ever published or a world where you can only read the books that you can afford. Most technical books are expensive.

I sympathize with the desire of average joes to take down footage of their smelling hair and rubbing people the wrong way. We need the internet archive.org. Some of the best website are only to be found there.

Works for books? Tolkien too long a read.
