maybe we're better off without websites that only exist to make money.
- colesantiago 6mo agoHow do website owners pay for server costs if you think they shouldn't make money? Should everyone be in a loss when they run a website?
- GuinansEyebrows 6mo agoi manage to do so using money i make elsewhere. the information i put on the internet is either of benefit to people or a matter of vanity. i don't afford special concern to people who want to use the internet for profit.
- colesantiago 6mo agoSo you have never sold anything, or participated with other people or groups that have sold anything online because you believe that they should not use the internet for profit?

- GuinansEyebrows 6mo agothis rhetoric is not compelling to me.
- colesantiago 6mo agoThis is not rhetoric and dodging a yes / no question is not an answer. You didn't deny it. So I am assuming you sold something or participated with other people or groups that have sold something for profit on the internet. > i manage to do so using money i make elsewhere And the place you work at most likely has an internet presence (highly likely) to sell products and services? You don't want your place of work to make money and not pay their server bills if they have an internet presence? You're living in a fantasy land in 2026.
- qu4z-2 6mo agoI think if everyone with a website made a small financial loss on it, the web would be immeasurably better.
- colesantiago 6mo agoHow?
- anovikov 6mo agoWell in the end of the day, everything exists to make money. Because if we remove that, only goal becomes direct power - violence and domination - and it's too dystopian.
