The biggest problem with all the various techno-neofeudalism theses is they treat the internet like its a free gift of nature and not as the extremely expensive and energy intensive infrastructure that it is. Aside from the historical illiteracy of course.

Also I haven't seen a version that deals with food production. You can't eat data. And can we please stop paying attention to these (literal) losers, Varoufakis, Corbin, Sanders, etc. they're only useful to know what not to do.

Edit: After skimming the article ... he clearly does not keep up with tech at all. The 'cloud' is dying and has been for awhile. Companies are increasingly self-hosting instead of using cloud platforms because surprise surprise, the 'cloud' is owned by capitalists who have to keep extracting more and more profit and since their market share isn't going up anymore they have to squeeze it out in other ways, increased ads, slower speeds or just raising rates, etc.
