SO as most people here have experienced, Reddits "strike" system is as both un nuanced as it is completely unhinged. It's AI is trash, coded by the advertizer partners for complete sanitation of thought, then is unevenly applied across the site. (it would be better to be completely un moderated vs, THAT IMHO)

This is why a YouTube comment restriction is MUCH more fair: It doesn't ban you, it BLOCKS you. Instead of whacking you with a Ban hammer it acts like a bouncer. It says, "hey this comment is a bit questionable, I'm not accepting that." This is a better way to go about it because as long as there's no penalty for edit spamming, it allows you to go through the comment and try to figure out if there's "a better way to say something" or at the very least sus out what the AI seems to think is the issue with it.

And again, to be clear, the AI on YouTube is not much better, often being even MORE strict, but at least you can WORK with it.

If Reddit used that system, I'm sure half of us wouldn't be here right now.

(context: I was replying to a Minecraft youtuber who is very community driven (which is awesome to engage with, BTW, love to see it) and part of my comment was describing the pros and cons of using TNT blocks for mining a particular resource. Take a wild guess what the AI thought I was trying to do. FFS FML -__-' Good news is that after some finagling and getting loosey goosey with the reply/double posting feature, I got the comment posted mostly unchanged. STILL, THOUGH.)

I was thinking that, as it applies to Intellectual Property mostly, there comes a point at which a service or idea gains such traction and ubiquity in it's use or implementation by humanity as a whole, that to apply any form of creative control or ownership to it is morally wrong, on philosophical grounds. This could also apply to physical objects as well. In short it's the concept that Total Ubiquity defeats Copywrite and Patent as a matter of course. If said thing requires upkeep, it is not a thing that CAN be "owned" but rather operated in stewardship.

I feel in our current Late-Stage Capitalist quagmire this might be a controversial proposal, so I wanted to bounce it off of some other people to get their take on it as an idea, and if there are any similar philosophies like it (other than communism, obviously).

I got to thinking about it after landing on the Google start page and coming to the realization that so much of our world relies on what Google provides that for one corporation to be in sole control of it is a security risk in of itself. I understand I'm probably preaching to the choir here, so try to be objective in your answers please, but don't feel the need to censor yourself either. Thanks, I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
