   tech bros on twitter arguing against libraries in favour of "spotify for books" because authors/publishers (or rather VC investors) can't use libraries as their primary source of profit is just a perfect example of silicon valley's willful ignorance or complete contempt for the ideas of public service and the commons.

   rather than everybody creating a public space and sharing resources they'd have us all completely separated and paying countless times over for the same thing.

      @cocoron I am sure libraries would be highly illegal and frowned upon if they were a new technology. Libraries are radical. More radical than skateboards probably.
