What planet do you live on? The one I am from is filled with tech companies making money selling ads and user data without scruple. But god forbid someone providing their labor gratis would DARE ask for a piece of it.
Why should an individual contributor not be allowed to partake in that, when the people who are using his work are making money off it?
A social convention, who put you in charge of that? There are plenty of bad conventions in this world, no one should be obligated to follow them.
- wayneftw 7y agoProgram logs are not the place for ads. If everybody did it, your logs would be unusable. The fact that this author didn't care about that reeks of entitlement. Despite the fact that big tech makes money selling ads - none of those companies exhibited such trashy behavior. Asking for a piece is not the problem. If I asked you if I could marry your daughter - no problem asking that right? But if I asked you while I was banging her right in front of you that would be a bit trashy. See the difference? Personally, I've used this piece of software - but if it didn't exist, there are many, many other options for me and I wouldn't lose one wink of sleep over it.
