    Yes I have. You just keep ignoring everything I say.

    You haven’t, so do it in reply to this. Who stole what from who?

    Do I need to explain a 6th time what gatekeeping is?

    I think you need someone to explain what it is to you tbh lol. Like I said, is this just you thinking that all subscription services are bad and “gate keeping”? Do you think needing to buy a ticket to go to a theme park is “gatekeeping”?

      What part of gatekeeping access are you not able to wrap your head around and how many times do I need to explain profiting off uncompensated labor?

        Who is profiting off uncompensated labor? Who stole what from who? You keep dodging the questions lol.

        Spotify pay Musixmatch for lyrics. Spotify are paying for a service. If Musixmatch are “stealing” lyrics from somewhere that’s not Spotify’s problem.

        Do you just believe that ALL subscriptions and payments to access something are “gatekeeping” behaviour? Answer the question. Is a movie theatre requiring you to buy a ticket before you can see the movie “gatekeeping” and bad? Is having to pay to watch netflix “gatekeeping”?

        This is getting unbelievable in how much you are dancing around answering any questions about your crazy train of thought.

          And how do you think axes get sharpened?

          Whetstones! And you can’t just smash a bat into a berry barn.
          The edge is what gives axes …pardon the expression… edge!

          So if the gravy thickens what are you going to do with that apretrieaour of yours?

          I hope you got some long-term strategy for weevils.

              And then you gotta talk about giant squids.

              Them things is huuuuuuuuuuge. Like you can fit two regular size squids inside one and the big ones at that.

              All wriggly and covered in equal parts suckers and slime.

              Life is like that, my friend. You got all sorts of movement in it and it’s trying to slip away from you AS (get is? as) it grips onto you.

              Them suckers is painful too, because they got fish hooks in them. Squid fish hooks are natures fish hooks, that’s why they used to use them as fish hooks.

              Of course they had to catch the squid to cut its arms up and once they managed that no one wanted to use the hooks anymore as they had just went through the trouble of inventing a non-hook-related method of catching sealife.

              And life is like that, friend.

                  And that’s ANOTHER thing. You never cleaned the cheesewheel from the hampster aerdrion valtrex.

                  Why won’t you address the cruise boat missive ?

                  Right, your moral cowardice.
