  • Absolutely. There are soooooooo many similarities, just with a futuristic twist. Rome refused to change with the times and other city states that modernized and welcomed new people did swimmingly. You can’t force everyone to conform to your ideology unless your ways are obviously better and easier to incorporate other influences into your own society. Look at the fall of Chinese dynasties. They tried so hard to stay isolated but (right or wrong how it happened) if they opened up and simply took the parts they needed (guns, boats capable of traveling oceans, and trains.) they would have done much better. Kinda like Japan. Japan messed up by picking a fight with the country they were learning from.

    It’s because we live in late stage capitalism. Our systems require infinite growth, so when Spotify tries to grow in an over saturated market. How else can they increase profits? Throw shit from all over the place to see what works. This issue is why every company jumped on the Ai bandwagon because it was the first real leap in a Market since the internet. Problem is 51% of all money spent in America was spent by the top 10% of the population. That top 10% only needs one Spotify subscription per person. The bottom 90% aren’t going to waste money anymore on subscription services.
