Shadertoy got hugged to death by this shader a few years ago and it had a custom "please go away" banner for a little while. Funny seeing it show up again on HN front page. https://web.archive.org/web/20210430091013/https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4dsXzM https://web.archive.org/web/20210430091013/https://www.shade...

That's pretty cute. IQ's a good guy, he's had every opportunity over the years to monetize Shadertoy but it's stayed free and true to its purpose for 12y now.

  it's too bad we associate paying people for their work with not being a good guy

    Keeping a site free for others to learn and share art is being a good guy. Too bad that we associate monetizing a demoscene site with getting paid for your work.

      how is it not getting paid for your work?

        If you are doing something and you dont get paid... Is not work. By definition you have to be paid to call it work.

        By that logic slaves can't do work?

        If slaves work... By your definition slaves are workers right? Yes in my opinion slaves cant work.
