Criticism

The channel is criticized about its non-government-friendly programs and left-wing or liberal presenters.[2]

gollark: There are lots of problems with all the models. I think at least trying to come up with and consider different ones is worth doing, though, because pretending IP is not-intellectual property is problematic.
gollark: I like reading (e)books myself.
gollark: Or to have people be paid per use of a thing out of a pool of input money, like Kindle Unlimited and whatever.
gollark: One idea for that is to have people pay upfront kickstarter-style, but that has its own problems too.
gollark: I don't really know how intellectual property issues "should" work, although I don't think the current approach of "just pretend they work like non-duplicable physical goods as much as possible" is a very good one.
