You need to own stuff that others value

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I'm sorry to ask such elementary questions, but why do others value it?

Amazon: people like books; people like next day delivery of stuff; people and companies like making stuff and running stuff in Amazon web services

Minecraft: Marcus Persson owned the game studio (and wrote quite a bit of the game) that made Minecraft, lots of people like it, Microsoft was willing to buy it for billions

Kiran Mazumdan-Shaw made beer, people like beer. They then used beer making processes to make biotech medicines - people like being alive and will pay a lot to stay alive, or even just a bit healthier

It's not an elementary question.

Best I can guess is: plenty of people, plenty of reasons. Which is a stupid answer.

This all seems very far removed from other people's concerns about worker exploitation

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is that a problem?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What about their concerns? Are their concerns not a problem?
