      What advertisers are doing isn’t capitalism it’s collusion to manipulate the market.

          I simply made a claim to why something is happening whether or not is true is yet to be proven but that doesn’t mean it’s not a possibility. These companies want a hand in how the company is run and if they’re not getting what they want them calling each other up to coordinate an ads pull is a tool in their toolbox.

            Either bring facts, or state it as an opinion, don’t try to do both or you will get called out.

              It’s to early to state facts so it’s a given that most things mentioned this early would be opinions.

          Obviously you don’t understand capitalism and your just going off what people who want communism and socialism are saying.

              Government regulations. Capitalism is a component of the government so it should take government action to enforce it.

                Really? Because I’ve been repeatedly told by libertarian types (not socialists or communists) that any government regulation is not capitalism.

                You’re free to disagree with them, but then I’m going to ask what your definition of capitalism is that assumes this regulation (not just allowing it, but mandating it).

                  No matter the system you need some level of regulation otherwise it’s just anarchy. What you want is a balanced regulation that not overbearing and keeps thing running smoothly.

                    OK, but the libertarian types who generally worship Musk are not going to like you one bit for saying it.
