Even Facebook does on-call. So money can’t solve it. If you wrote the code and it breaks you’re kinda the only one that can fix it (in a hurry)

you pay nothing for the vast majority of your web resources you use every day. More relevant ads = more money = better free services for you. Would you rather you be forced to watch C.O.P.D medication pre roll ads and ads for meselthelioma

Sad but true, from having seen upfront a similar process. It takes just a fraction of work to bundle all the tech up for open source, but at the point of shutdown everyone is usually just toast... sadness to it too. Most people can't
