Comradery at questionable prices

Pedagogy and the magic networking of merit, with a Ponzi triangle holding a friendly mask. What can go wrong?

15.37 On the commodification of relationships behind paywalls.

Esprit de Corps at a price, keep that In mind. There are those who prey on social alienation and the way the internet makes that with a costly parasocial relationship.

A parasocial relationship that offers a nebulous business relationship, with it being a frustrated vendor-to-vendor. At least that. Keep those videos in mind when Garoshadowscale sells 500 of advertisement payola.

These free social services treat you like a product unless one is using it as an extension of their business, Who is the benefit?

Anybody who does not watch out for the mutual business/funding interests are not friend material.
