Technology companies changing the farm. Maybe that's why farmers are going broke. If you'd just use a horse and plow, the horse eats the food you grow, costs nothing. Now it costs millions. (media.scored.co)

That's not a technology, it is purely vendor lock, hardware-as-a-service and other disgusting shit from profit-driven coproeconomy.

All that shit intentionally developed and forced by companites, just like fucking Apple iPhone that even don't have standard charging connector without any reason except selling shitty apple cables and chargers.

Same with agricultural equipment. You could easily run into situation when your water hose quick connectrors does not fit water pump from another supplier. And so on. Milking devices, tractor trailers with seeders, plows, all that agro stuff, even fucking trimmers for sheep from different vendors. Everything is incompatible and you need either spend tons of money, either tons of time making adapters and trying to match one device with another.

Tech is great and very helpful for farmers. Its those who make profit on it are fucking greedy bastards with very rare exceptions.

Economies of scale and regulatory capture is the game bug business play to get rid of small business. They do it because they know small entrepreneurs are the death by a thousand cuts because deep inside people are not programmed to be consoomers.

I think this is good. Right to repair laws are being intentionally sidestepped. We need different companies. John Deer switching to subscription models where nothing is under warranty isn't helping. Old farm equipment is worth more than the new. Based on your graphic alone, I'm optimistic.

We need different companies

The COM in company implies together, which contradicts differences being apart from one another. Same spiel as suggesting pluralism (we) to trick singular (one) to ignore self.

Based on your graphic
