> Capitalism cannot unlock the potential of the web
Luckily you can just log in to the communist internet, invented before the capitalist one and with way better content and potential. Right?

Now if, for example, Hacker News would ask me to pay 0.001 USD to receive this specific stream of bytes, I guess that would be "capitalist internet". Perhaps it would be a good idea, who knows, I'd sure like to be paid for putting content out there for large language models to sweep in.

... This is why I love Wikipedia. It teaches me new things every day.
I'm just noting the that the most valuable websites on the internet are relatively nonprofit.
I merely illustrated that the web was invented and ran by a capitalist society, the internet you see today is a product of capitalism, the good parts and the bad ones.
Unless you can link me websites created and ran from countries with different systems - that you had in mind as being superior.
Huh? Capitalism is literally a state of economic freedom. People accumulate capital via consensual economic transactions, then decide what to do with it (stuff like funding Wikipedia!). How is this contrary to a free society?
