Reciprocation on the Internet opposes market economy and monetization

Russian publicist Yegor Stanislavovich Kholmogorov, reflecting ( in his blog ) on the “Chosen Works” of the Western thinker Karl Polanyi, makes a practical conclusion that modern practices of information exchange on the Internet to a certain extent, for open-source free software) are an example of so-called reciprocity (that is, such a circulation of material goods and services between people, in which interactions are manifested many social obligations of these people), therefore, they are fundamentally hostile to all modern practices of a market economy and monetization, and even over time they may turn out to be able to subvert modern practices in the name of establishing a much more equitable social order.

In the framework of this logic and terminology, torrent file sharing has the property of direct reciprocity (relationships are built according to the principle “how much you have downloaded, so much you can download”), and the wiki has the property of macroreciprocity (you make a common contribution to a large information piggy bank, it grows, and you can use it ”), and YouTube (or another means of broadcasting its content on other sites by mutual consent) has a limited reciprocity (“ I give it to use, but I don’t give it to own ”).

I recommend reading, and comprehending, and thinking about these arguments and this terminology.
