So you fixed this problem with your simple solution. Now you've created another one: how do you make sure the people who write content can do so while putting bread on the table.

- ip26 6y agoA classic dilemma. Collegial vs commercial ecosystems. Amateur sports face this. You can't really make a living running ultra marathons, which makes it somewhat exclusive, but if there was a lot of money to be made the whole experience would change and not always for the better.

- spiderfarmer 6y agoYes. That’s why piracy was a big draw for BBSes.
