It looks like that it is the final straw to prove that Mozilla has completely lost its way...
For any startup or company it is normal to provide "premium" paid service and "advanced" content/knowledge to the subset of internet users that can afford it.
But ... this is the Mozilla foundation. Too much paid silicon valley executives transformed a structure dedicated to find funds to protect an "open internet" into a for profit structure that prostitute itself as much as needed to make money just for being profitable.
We saw it coming with Firefox evolution being neglected to instead waste money on numerous "outreachy" things.
Just for memo, here is one of the 10 points of the Mozilla manifesto:
"The internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible"
Looks like that a "premium paywalled content website" will have a hard time pretending to be "open".
