    People’s willingness to seize every opportunity and monetize everything that was once free and open is truly shocking. Every day when I read about another dogshit attempt to make the internet as a whole a worse place, I’m not even supprised anymore

      In our society it’s literally stupid NOT to do these things. If you got rich doing it you “won.” Fuck the general population, fuck “good” things, fuck literally everything, C.R.E.A.M.

      I hate it so much.

        i hate that we value and reward greed too. because greed is, ultimately, a stupid bottomless pit that only leads to extraction and environmental destruction.

        People need to be paid for their efforts. If you’re not going to pay them, who is? Advertiser are.

      “People’s” willingness? That’s rich, it seems you forgot who actually has the capital and power to put this nonsense into place. The people don’t have a say in this matter, even if they’d get loud. The only way to end this and ensure software freedom is to end the thing that is in the way, capitalism.
