I am boss man. I have lots of money, I don’t need to work, you need work or you die.
You work for me, I give you payment. It’s a good payment, more than average person, you can live comfortably on it.
But your work gave me a yacht. You exchanged a multi million dollar yacht for $1 million. Why? Because I had the leverage to force you to accept such a shitty deal. If you didn’t need to make this deal to live, you’d tell me to shove it and go make all your money’s worth with your labor.
Capitalism is exploitative by design, and a capitalist contributes nothing but control of industry. Valve and Steam is a great platform to use today, that doesn’t make Gabe a good guy or somehow mean he deserves the vast majority of his employees’ labor value.
