I hate it that we have degraded software into adware or begware.

  How else do you pay for developers / servers? Everyone that makes software should just sell it for profit, or give it away at a loss?

    We have killed direct sales / SaaS for some types of software (because of corps giving it out for free)

      The free alternatives are paid for with your data. The whole point of signal is that they don't have your data. Nobody is forcing you to pay for it.

  Signal is developed by a non-profit foundation. It comes with no ads or in-program begging, the community is just supposed to know that there is a foundation out there that has to be kept afloat. Really, this is no different from FSF/GNU development for decades now.
