- Matumio 4y ago> destroys the market for people to publish jokes about fishing Yet for some reason, I bet there were fish jokes long before fish markets. The ad revenue may disappear, but the jokes will not. Also, several open source projects make our society function that don't have a good business model. Or maybe they do now, but wouldn't have started if the author had worried about it.

If they weren't there the answer would still be available on the internet (maybe in 50 duplicates instead of 5000) & google would have found it just as well.
