    FOSS but also no ads. And don’t harvest any data to sell either.

    I genuinely don’t understand where revenue streams are meant to come from for any of this software with peoples expectations.

    But honestly Lemmy is so pro piracy that it doesn’t really matter if you were to charge for your product

      I don’t think those people want revenue to exist, as in everything and all should be free forever and always.

      People being mad at youtube for trying to force people to pay for the insanely expensive service they are providing was/is strange to me, on a similar note.

      For FOSS, it’s sort of given in the name though. If it’s not free, it wouldn’t be FOSS, and companies like Google and Facebook have permanently destroyed most people trust in ads not also being paired with data harvesting. Other than offering paid tech support, it’s difficult to find a non intrusive way to get money.

      People want prefer a tiny icon in the description where the author(s) ask for donations, but don’t they dare pop up donations to ask for donations though!

      The internet existed for a long time prior to monetization of it. People used to do things because they were good ideas, fun, or helpful.

      Revenue streams made things worse.

        I think it’s a pretty bold statement to claim that the Internet today is worse than it was 20 years ago before things were being monetised.

        People still do stuff just for the sake of it. To be fun, helpful, whatever. However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people’s hearts I think is bordering on entitled.

          Yes, there are people who do that, but there are many more people in the FOSS world who don’t expect anything and instead contribute.

          Focusing on the entitled people won’t make you happy, reagardless the topic.
