I mean, sure, you can always not talk about or suggest them, but so much of what you’re dealing with day to day is probably from some big business. Also I am aware of the concept of universal basic income, but I’ve not really seen it framed/discussed from this sort of perspective, which imo at least is morbidly funnier.
At any rate, capitalists made this market where time’s money and ya always gotta be hustling, so if they think they’re owed free word o’ mouth, well, who’s all entitled then, eh?
if it was a straight comparison, yes, they should.
I think right now the exchange is a person’s hype and/or satisfaction to said person’s recommendation.
like you said, you can also choose not to with that hustle mindset. it’s just not many people are aware or are ready to reframe the situation that way.
