    Where does the money come from lol? It doesn’t grow on trees. Stocks are labour appropriation, rent is labour appropriation, interest on investments? Who’s paying lol, the bank? No, people in the bank’s debt that they credited with your money.

      There’s a pretty wide range of things that are considered passive income. The examples you listed are some of them, and I agree that they are or can be exploitative, but there are many (particularly the ones where someone benefits from monetizing their own creations) that I wouldn’t.

      Edit: I’m not trying to give you a hard time. I was trying to better understand what you were saying.

        That list is divided into “extract rents” and “work a job” It seems kinda weird to call a job passive income just because you’re not paid a wage. But no I don’t mean people buying a book you wrote.
