Big Tech Only Going To Get Bigger Unless We Decide To Stop It

It is no secret that major technology companies are exerting more influence over our everyday lives. This is a trend that is likely to continue unless we step in to stop it.

In this video I discuss how big tech is out to create a dystopian future unless we utilize the tools available to us. Blockchain and cryptocurrency are two major factors in this battle. We need to fight for our freedom and this is the new playing field.

We are working on it at @jpbliberty. Next Court date is 30 Oct.

Just read about Microsoft acquiring ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda, the game studio and publisher behind iconic franchises such as The Elder Scrolls, Fallout and DOOM. The deal was valued at $7.5 billion and will further strengthen the appeal of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass, a Netflix-style subscription service for video games, by adding Bethesda's line-up of iconic games to the service.

I don't know how Microsoft can be stopped and also any other mammoth out there.

It is like most large entities, they have to be taken down one person at a time. Blockchain gaming has to pick up and eat into the XBox market. It is tough but it can be done. Just need to offer a better experience for the users.

Plus many hate Microsoft. It isnt as if people had much of a choice over the decades.

I am not big into gaming at all, but my youngest son is. What are some blockchain games out there? I would like to introduce him to them.

Guy just yesterday you said "big tech companies are already dead" and today you're saying they're only going to get bigger.

Creating content is good but don't you have a memory or at least replay your videos and realise how conflicting some of your talking points are?

It is similar to the marxist movement taking place, it will fail.

That does not mean that people do not have a part to play in it and can just sit back. Effort is required in all destinations.

And I think I said that the traditional social media companies are dead, mega tech will likely follow but not unless we step in to stop it.

They're interconnected though. From the shadows to the systems of enforcement. It's one big co-op of elite rule over masses. If even governments openly acknowledge corporate/tech elites got too big to handle then clearly the real power ARE those conglomerates that nations are now at the mercy of. As you've pointed out before: our DATA is what they extract as value.

I agree with you also that Marxism will fail because it again is just an outlet of rage to distract and derail an actual contest to power. The age old ambition to control society and dictate economies is always ultimately granted to the ones that control the game.

The realm of digital the main game now.

Decentralised just isn't going to really disrupt, challenge or even phase that ruling power imo. We can exist as niches yes but it's likely a very distant future where we will have decoupled from the dominance of societies' current systems of rule where economics dictate our existence.

Ironically that might ultimately be granted by those ruling elite that we find ourselves under now. When we have existed as interstellar species for centuries (initiated by the super rich), likely then, collectives would have an equal view of themselves to implement new systems that have no reason for competition when the environment is again resource abundant.

Mortality also another factor why competition rules us currently. This limited life we have is why greed and ownership is dominant.

Hive Power Up Day - Introducing the Power Up Helper!

I agree that these are the great equalizers, but it will also be some time before it is adopted by the masses. Kind of like the beginning days of the mass use of Internet and access to the WWW.

Summary:
In this video, Task discusses the growing influence and power of big tech companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple, expressing concerns about their ability to control information and censor content. He advocates for the use of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency as a means to break free from the control of these tech giants and governments.

Detailed Article:
Taskmaster4450 delves into the impact of big tech companies on society and the potential dystopian future that could result from their unchecked power. He mentions the Internet or Life in 2030 series by Cointelegraph, which delves into the concept of a dystopian future due to the influence of mega tech companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple. Task raises concerns about these companies controlling information, censoring content, and shaping societal norms, which he views as a threat to individual freedom.

The conversation shifts towards the rapid technological advancements expected in the next decade, particularly in areas like biotechnology. Task highlights the need to counter the dominance of big tech and governments by embracing blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. He asserts that these decentralized solutions can provide alternatives to existing systems and help individuals regain control over their finances and choices.

Task emphasizes the importance of resisting the current systems by reducing reliance on platforms like YouTube, which are owned by tech giants. He suggests that by supporting blockchain-based marketplaces and utilizing cryptocurrencies like Hive, individuals can contribute to a more decentralized economy. Task believes that empowering individuals financially and promoting wealth distribution can weaken the influence of established entities and foster a more equitable society.

Furthermore, Task advocates for the development of decentralized applications and open-source software to challenge industry giants like Microsoft, Coinbase, Amazon, and Apple. He draws parallels to the fall of Blockbuster due to the rise of Netflix, highlighting the potential for gradual but significant shifts in power dynamics through continuous innovation and adoption of new technologies.

In conclusion, Task urges viewers to take proactive steps towards embracing decentralized platforms, particularly in areas like gaming, to harness the transformative potential of blockchain technology. By supporting alternative systems and reducing reliance on centralized entities, Task believes individuals can contribute to a more equitable and decentralized future, empowering people to take control of their financial and informational freedoms.
