@jeremycherfas Fascinating, and another big mark against Amazon. I've never listened to an audiobook, so no dog in the fight, but the "chokepoint capitalism" issue is very general and growing more so.
@JMaxB I can remember when many people of conscience talked about building a counterculture, and even made some moves in that direction. It would be good to hear more talk, and maybe see some action, around the idea of developing a digital counterculture.
@JMaxB I think there is already something of a counterculture building, not least here on MB. As people complain about the silos, worry about their privacy, etc, a few do actually leave we are the counterculture.
