About the big video-on-demand companies and the harm they are doing:

Take this documentary, The Dissident. About a very known journalist killed by Saudi Arabia for speaking against their primitive regime. It is a confirmed story by any major journalistic investigative organization. But the distribution of the documentary is either super slow or non existent, and that's likely because Netflix, Apple, Amazon and the like, do not want to lose business opportunities with Saudi Arabia. It is business-based-censorship. You can read more here and here.

Yet people still use Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Youtube and the like. And do not feel angry about them censoring content, especially based on business plans. These big-boys don't really care about "ethics", or "gore", or nudity, or conspiracies, or stuff like that, since their platforms is full of these. All they care is about their business doing well, and if that means nudity has to be censored, they will; if that means stuff criticizing China or Saudi Arabia, then that content is out!

It also goes to show how "paying with currency for content" is neither better or worse than paying with your data or attention. In other words, a streaming platform that runs on ads and data collection, is as bad as one that runs on paid subscriptions. They all are incentivized to put their profits first.

On another note, based on the above example, how ridiculous that we are trapped by these imaginary entities called companies for such things, when we can so easily distribute such documentaries or any media to everyone in the world that has an Internet connection. Via Bittorrent, via Peertube, via many means.

We make the documentary available via VideoNeat and directly via Peertube, because the world needs to be aware of such stories and get away from this primitive imaginary boundary of companies, patents, copyright, money, and so forth.

We walk the talk.

Listen for 2 minutes please.

Since 2011 when we released TROM documentary, we've been fighting this trade-based society. For one, to expose it - and we created many hours of videos, thousands of pages of books, tools and so forth. And second, to provide alternatives (from educational materials, to tools). Everything can be found here www.tromsite.com.

If people would just pay attention to what we do…

Here's the problem:

In the Internet era pretty much every brain is being consumed and conned by ads and data collection, or limited through paywalls . Brains move hands and feet, and today the war for the minds is getting very intense. Facebook, Instagram, Google, Youtube, and so forth, are trapping minds into an endless stream of nonsense and ads, to keep them on their platforms, in order to make more money. And so, they kill everyone without leaving them physically dead. Humans have become confused zombies. They trade their minds for mindless entertainment. Their heads are full of conspiracies, clickbait, and nothingness overall.

Enough!

We won't be able to change anything in this society if we don't take care of people's minds! And so we don't just talk about the walk, we walk that talk. Today we are releasing a new extraordinary project that is meant to provide trade-free alternatives to Facebook, Youtube, Dropbox or Google Drive, Google Search or Docs, Wetransfer, Microsoft Office Online, Spotify and more. trom.tf/ (TROM dot Trade-Free)

We need people not to trade their minds to these tools, but to use these tools to grow their minds!
