> Google uses their dominant position to ask a reduction of 70%. How do you want Koda to accept those terms? Why would artists work with Koda if they don’t push back on such a ridiculous demand? It’s their job to say no here.

That's fine. Just don't misrepresent that it's Google unilaterally removing people's content.

"How do you want Koda to accept those terms?" However they wish to -- that's not my place to tell them. It's totally up to them. They can change their business model. They can come up with whatever ideas they want. Just like Google had to, to undercut all those old traditional advertisers who were charging ridiculous rates for print advertising. Just like every startup is trying to do to incumbents. Just like tons of people do every day without any desire for any revenue, even.

Don't cherry pick the things you like about being able to create new things, and then suddenly demand barriers (on principle) to that same ability because you started making money on it. You just want your cut, just like Google.
