And youtube wasn't promising a free platform, so it's okay. Here we have a company setting up libre services, vaguely explaining they fund the infrastructure, I just don't see what the future will hold since they aren't at least committing to a plan. Charging for infrastructure is acceptable. I think libre initiative should rather charge from the get go, it reduces the risk that some day a VP joins the organisation and decide to monetise the sale of our data rather than offer a reasonable pricing model where the owner of the data is the consume, not personal data exploiters.
