It is kinda funny how they are destroying the internet by trying to make money off of it but unlike the real world analog of, say, clear cutting a forest and having wood to sell they still really haven't figured out how to make money off the destruction. They're making heaps in the destroying, sure, but there's nothing left over after they do it to drag to market. It's all just outside money getting dragged into the process. There's no gold in them there hills but they're making money selling the mining equipment.
