And who pays the bills for the people running the servers and writing the code? If you find value in something, be willing to pay for it. It doesn't have to be expensive, but everyone needs to do their part. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
I personally am not content to sit back and let other people pay for the things I use so I can get it "free", because I know it's not really free. Putting somebody else in control in that way results in what we already have: a warped social landscape where narratives are driven by the people that bought and paid for it. *We* need to be the ones that have bought and paid for it because that lets *us* set the narrative -- our own narrative.
That's my opinion. I'm open to other ideas and how we can make things accessible and better for all, but ultimately the people using the service need to be the one paying for it or we're back to a top-down model that wrecks the common person.
