- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Like, eh, I guess?
Most spam emails are not corporations looking for customers but scammers looking for victims.
I appreciate the dunk on capitalism as much as the next guy but this feels kinda random
In like 90% of commerce, these are the same thing. Profit exists in the unequal exchange of value. The more unequal the exchange, the more profit created. Capitalism is built on the idea that the investor is entitled to all of the profit, so the producer and the consumer are both providing value to a third party.
For sure, there are examples of industries where the transactions are more equitable than others. But corporations are exclusively profit-driven, and equality is anathema to profit.
Welcome to the Fediverse!
Mmhm, it's people trying to make money, not anthropomorphic "capital". Not especially rich people either.
