Fri Oct 23 20:08:32 UTC 2015 <thestringpuller> mircea_popescu: well, it's all the media of the new republic. << This was my point. The 'intellectual property' or whatever you want to call it spawning from qntra is the value. For instance a movie or book, or some other form of media published under qntra. I see royalties in the future perhaps?
Fri Oct 23 20:07:26 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> so basically qntra is ?????.
Fri Oct 23 20:02:58 UTC 2015 <thestringpuller> mircea_popescu: from this standpoint this Qntra is more like a media conglemorate than a simple new agency.
Fri Oct 23 20:01:55 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> thestringpuller successful webcomics also aren't usually attached to behemoths set on destroying the entire world. note that qntra is NEVER going to be successful, because it's not here to obtain praise from daddy.
Fri Oct 23 20:01:07 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> qntra doth not target.
Fri Oct 23 20:00:59 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> so qntra targets 'the people', the ones who buy ipad ?!
Fri Oct 23 20:00:05 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> so, not a brainfart, i really meant to say this. but it is possible that i catastrophically misunderstand the purpose of qntra.
Fri Oct 23 19:59:41 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> mircea_popescu: i really was thinking 'qntra is a propaganda machine primarily for speaking to non-#b-a people.' ergo 'thinking folks other than myself dislike paywalls' is a relevant hypothesis
Fri Oct 23 19:57:01 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> mircea_popescu: now that you say this, i'm not even sure i correctly apprehend the purpose of qntra.

Fri Oct 23 19:54:34 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> she'd prolly go for it, but she'd still have to be paid, and so far qntra is not so keen to spend cash.

Fri Oct 23 19:30:20 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> pete_dushenski just saying, a dossier on all the ways alphabet mitigates tax is definitely a qntra worthy research project for the actuarialy inclined.
Fri Oct 23 19:26:43 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> why the fuck does google even have an "alphabet" parent, since we're discussing these things ? doth qntra know?

Fri Oct 23 18:17:53 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> i really can't fathom how qntra could turn a profit any more than therealbitcoin could
Fri Oct 23 18:17:43 UTC 2015 <punkman> weekly qntra comic strip would be fun if BB can find an artist
Fri Oct 23 18:16:42 UTC 2015 <thestringpuller> me either. qntra isn't a webcomic so I don't expect it to monetize as such. but the webcomics have held their own.
