      Profit is what’s leftover after everyone gets paid.

      Profit, by definition is excess.

      You might want to study some basic economics before you come across as being clever. You’re buying into rhetoric that exists to take advantage of your ineptitude.

          Yeah, and if they’re forced to make less, they will. Or they make nothing at all.

          Lol, thanks for proving my point.

              My point is that they will make less profit if they are forced to.

              If they stop making products at all, then they make no money.

              People already work way harder than them for significantly less, so it’s definitely do-able.

              People just need to have higher standards, which you are proving they don’t.

                  I’m still not understanding what that has to do with this discussion.

                  I can tell. It’s in response to your hyperbole, “Is it your hope that they will stop producing media for you to watch?” You are arguing that if they make less profit, then they won’t make media at all which isn’t true.

                  Is it your hope that they will stop producing media for you to watch?

                  If people had higher standards for what they spend their money on, businesses would have to meet those standards or go out of business. They can, they would just make less profit.

                  That means more money for you and me.

                  You really should study basic economics. It’s sad watching you laugh and dismiss facts because they describe how you’re being taken advantage of.
