> why are they going there?
because it's free.
> Running a website isn't free
Making money is not the only reason to spend money on something. That's the point.
- nerdjon 3y agoso what you are saying is the only people that deserve to put content on the internet are those privileged enough to be able to afford to put it out for free while they pay to run the servers? Or privileged enough to have the technical knowledge to be able to run it very cheaply? Or have the privilege to spend the time making content with out any concern of finances? People that can chose to spend time making free content instead of needing to work another job or some other source of money. I'm sorry but it is a fantastic ideal that people would just do things without any concern about making money but that isn't the world we live in. If I were to make content I would at least like to break even so I am not spending money for nothing.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoPrivilege is the word of the times, 10 years ago you would have couched it in different language and in 10 years it would be yet another set of wording. Apparently it's a fantastic ideal that people will do things for motivations other than money. I'm going to suggest that if you believe that you either hang out with the wrong people, or people just don't like you.
