I can think of anything in Europe, but it could technically be the Phillipines too if we are just going off the $ symbol.

It does not exist in the vast majority of the world. But yeah there are stupid tipping expectations in Canada and a few other places too.
I feel the logical conclusion is to just destroy all human created content entirely to avoid being exploited by corporations. But that may not be a reasonable solution.
It would be like an artist refusing to record or perform their music for fear of someone else making money from it or copying the style.
Yeah, but then idiots felt it was too invasive, so now Google just collects the same amount of data or more... but without as much benefit to the user.
I wasn't referring to any form of physical work, I mean specifically within capitalism. Be it Amazon or otherwise.
All labour is exploitation.
It means 'hey I'm here' in SE Asia and it works effectively for that. Loud, annoying...but it does accomplish something.
I never blame the people asking for tips, I instead blame those giving them.
I'll list my Bitcoin address for anyone who would like to tip me! As I wrote out this whole comment for free, a tip seems quite reasonable here. If you disagree and choose not to tip me, that's ok since tips are optional...but please don't start rambling about how others should be tipping when you yourself did not tip me when provided the opportunity.
TIL what a sheepfold is.
Yep. And I'd argue it's an almost ethical responsibility for those aware of all this to preserve a media archive via piracy. Sort of like those monks that would repeatedly copy old scrolls before they would degrade or whatever.
Mistakes literally never have happened so far though.
But yeah, I'd probably get out of the water myself. Or just do something really dumb looking so it was clear I was human.
I already have that with digital media though. I don't do subscriptions.
