I’m inclined to agree, but my little nitpick is that corporations don’t always put necessities behind a paywall. For example, Rolex sells watches, which are hardly a necessity. Similarly, we do not need Reddit (or Lemmy, as nice as it is to have) to live. As miserable as life would be without music, you will not die if capitalists restrict your access to music.

So really, corporations put restrictions on not just things humans need, but on things humans want too. Specifically, fun things. If we include activities and land access as “things”, then it’s not a stretch to argue that capitalists restrict these things too.
