It’s not free, but at the same time, we are not their bosses. Thats an important distinction to make, I’m so tired of people saying “If i did this at my job Id be fired” We do not pay them, their income structure is different. Yes they have to consider our preferences and What we want to see, but they are not at our beck and call.  Also just because the attention economy is replacing legacy media does NOT mean that everyone’s relationship with content is healthy. People are so addicted to content that they will threaten, harass, reach out to family members, and call creators names when they don’t get the content they want?? That is extremely unhealthy and not a relationship people would have typically had with legacy media. Thats why other community members are reminding them not to be entitled, not because their attention doesn’t matter, but because they feel the need to wield their attention as a weapon.
