That still does not mean it is worthless. How about a person who works doing his job everyday. They are not worthless and they deserve to be paid. You can not say they dont since they are doing something to make money. If that the case you are worthless and you should be forced into labor. If you get nothing thats fine since if everyone says it means nothing it means you are nothing and deserve nothing. Which does not make a good economies since people are poor and dying. You have to stay alive dont you? You need a roof and food dont you? You think we should not be given something for what we do? We should just all be forced into labor till we die? Thats what we are to you? A bunch of worthless paper plates?
I didn't say it was definitively worthless, I said it's only worth what people will pay for it. How do you still not get that?
Did you know that gasoline used to be a worthless by-product that the refiners threw out? And look, now we're at war over it and the price is high. Something that you think is so valuable right now was worthless at one time. Take a gallon jug of gasoline back in time and try to convince people that it's worth their entire year's salary. Good luck with that.
Worth can't be some fantasy, it has to be grounded in reality. You might bust your ass working on something but it's only worth what you can sell it for. Not everyone is willing to buy what you're selling sometimes, ya know?
Do you think pirating music is really that big of a deal?
