What in the way the question is formed indicates that it's being asked in bad faith?

Well like everything, capitalism too has its downsides and there's plenty to improve on, but it's quite difficult to see how ending capitalism and replacing it with what ever you think it should be replaced with would end stuff like wars or pandemics. Ending capitalism would definitely end certains issues caused by it, but along would come a set of new issues we're probably not having to deal with now.

Downvotes are 22 into the negative at the moment. How else do you read that, than people not being happy about you even asking?

I imagine stuff like monopolies is what a true free market economy would look like, so I wouldn't say things like that are a sign of illegitimate capitalism. However, that is not the case almost anywhere. True capitalism doesn't really exist because it's more or less regulated everywhere, and it's usually where these regulations fail, where we also see the biggest issues with it. That's why I'm opposed to people advocating for ending capitalism. In my view that is too radical and narrow minded and will lead to a ton of unpleasant side effects that aren't even that hard to predict. More and better regulation is the more optimal solution in my view.

we’re all dead soon

That's a bit.. extreme. We're all going to be dead soon? You mind elaborating a bit?

The anti-capitalism sentiment is interesting. While the issues with it are obvious to everyone, the solution is not. Atleast not to me. If you just end capitalism, it's going to be miserable for everyone. You need to replace it with something better. People however don't seem to think it this far, or if they do, then for some reason they don't want to discuss that, and get angry for even asking. Just having a vague idea is not good enough. This isn't the kind of stuff you figure out on the go.

Even now, I'll probably just get downvoted and labeled a right wing capitalist, because that's easier than answering the actual question.

Of all the privacy issues I'm worried of, this is one of the ones I care about the least. Have at it. Take my Lemmy posts aswell. I've knowingly put it out there for everyone to read.

Yeah YouTube overall does quite a good job recommending me videos I'm actually interested in.

This is a good example of what I mean, when I said that no one has given me a compelling reason. Not everyone needs to like/not like things you do. I'd like other people to do things that would benefit my desires aswell, but I don't go around demanding that. Twitter is no shittier today, than it was the day I joined. From my perspective, nothing has changed, so I have no more reason to leave than I had reason to join in the first place.

Content creators? Bro they are tweets.

What? Because I choose to share my pictures on twitter, I don't count as a content creator?

I don't know any other site with such large community of adult content creators. Reddit may be close.

I already am paranoid that there's people near even when there aren't. With this super power I wouldn't need to speculate.

While not exactly a space ship, I'd say Thunderbird 2

So far no one has given me compelling reason to leave.

Why do you care anyways? I can't figure out why anyone would use something like Facebook or TikTok either, but they do and I'm not going around calling them spineless. Not everyone needs to like/not like the things I do.

You guys have alarm mans? That sounds cool

I'd like to be able to sense the distance to the closest person to me

Jos lottovoitto osuisi kohdalle, niin veisin varmaan nykyisen -07 vuoden pick-upin pajalle ja käskisin uusia kaiken. Jotenkin uudet autot vaikuttaa vain muovisilta leluilta jotka on tungettu täyteen tarpeetonta elektroniikkaa jota joko en tarvi, tai sitten se ei edes toimi.

Allegedly

As if I didn't notice if he started popping up on my feed again

I dont think that's an issue on low earth orbit, because of the atmospheric drag. Even the ISS needs boosting from time to time or it'll fall back to earth.

You're right. It's probably all just lies and right wing propaganda and there's no real issues with immigrants there what so ever. I mean if the news says something I don't like it must be false, right?
