Mozilla is an ad company under the new leadership, hence the assumption.
And exactly: I reject C. I reject the monetization of the web. It didn't need to happen; we just wanted it to happen in our greed. We bit the apple. Money is the root of all evil. It ruins everything.
- disgruntledphd2 2y agoWho pays for the servers?
- Rinzler89 2y agoHopefully nobody. The internet and servers existed before targeted advertising was a thing. The only thing targeted advertising enabled is trillion dollar valuations for some shareholders.
- disgruntledphd2 2y agoServers cost money though. And generally, they cost proportionately more the more users you have. This means that the standard information wants to be free/free software arguments ultimately have costs to cover (like, you used to need to pay for GNU tools to cover the cost of postage and storage). Any approach that ignores this economics is just gonna fail (and that would be sad).
