    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.
