Lemmy users only want to use foss and not pay a single penny. How dare you suggest they pay a tiny amount to help pay for servers and the creators they're watching!
It feels like a culture war between corporations and the OG user base. They reeled us in and monopolized the market with the idea of "free". Now that competitors are few and far between, they want to change the game and reel in literal billions. I have absolutely no sympathy for their "lost profits". They are making enough as-is, and I have no problems saying that out loud.
Could you explain what you mean by that comment?
