Holy crap there's a bunch of commercial crap pouring from #Mastodon. What do people think this is, a market place?! Person-to-person sales are capitalism too, remember.

@animeirl I'll just quote Wikipedia and call it a day:
»Capitalism is an economic system and an ideology based on private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.»

@bob I've started unsubscribing from those who repeat a bunch of stuff about peoples' private art things that they encourage people to buy. Jeez.

@dwmatiz People selling stuff. Promoting their stores. Encouraging others to buy.
