“Ultimately, free is a cancer that plagues humanity, because it forces an authority’s surveillance to decide appropriate use. And usually a single participant can scale through harsher enforcement to control the service more efficiently. And then it turns Mastodon, chat, email, and website servers into Dr. Seuss’ Thidwick the moose, where the leeches weigh him down. Even if he had good intentions when he started, it’s unsustainable to have the dependents free-load.”

The minute you make something profitable you’ll attract people like me who will want to capitalize on the product and there’s more no talented me types looking to get rid of the Linus and VLC guys who build things because they’re passionate and want to make money. “Free” is the cure for cancer. The cancer are people like me
You’re honest, @Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world, and that’s what I appreciates about you.
Unstead of vlc for example signal needs money for their servers, much more money than vlc needs. So I mean compaining about how capitalism works isnt rational because there is no example of succesful communism. The other question is surveillance capitalism or unregulated capitalism.
