#AmReading #ChokepointCapitalism by @pluralistic & #RebeccaGiblin.
A riveting look at how black-hole corporations like #Amazon, #Apple, #Google, #Facebook, & #Netflix dominate culture, exploit creators, crush competitors, & keep a stranglehold on audiences. These behemoths suck up money & power with a ruthlessness that makes old-style robber barons look like small-time pilferers.
Relevant wrt the #WGA #SAGAFTRA strike.

Just ordered a hardcover of CHOKEPOINT CAPITALISM from @pluralistic from www.craphound.com/shop via www.bookshop.org #CoryDoctorow #RebeccaGiblin #ChokepointCapitalism

In this piece for #WIRED, @stokel outlines how Twitter and Melon Usk intend to charge $USD 42k per month and upwards to access #research #data via the platform's #API - putting it out of reach of most researchers and #universities

An example of #ChokePointCapitalism (per @docotorow and #RebeccaGiblin #rgibli?

Frankly, I'm surprised at this approach to market. I thought Twitter would have approached the journal publishers instead, and got them to paywall Twitter through their existing university subscriptions.

Compelling interview by Andy Park for Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Radio National program with #RebeccaGiblin and @doctorow discussing their new book, #ChokePointCapitalism.

A must-listen for anyone interested in #monopsony, concentration of #power and #arts policy.

I like having proper attribution for quotes that I use. First, because my professors drilled into me the importance of proper PUBLIC attribution so much that it's second nature to me now, and second, because if someone has said one thing I find interesting/useful, odds are they've said others, so I want to be able to find them.

I was pleased in reading Chokepoint Capitalism (#CoryDoctorow and #RebeccaGiblin) to learn that "A fine is a price" is attributed to Uri Gneezy and Aldo Rustichini.
