That's precisely why we're interested in Web Monetization - it's a decentralized system that eliminates the middlemen, allowing consumers to pay Web content creators directly.
No capitalists taking a cut of the earnings.
No capitalists wielding the power of their platform to dictate what & how creators produce.
