No one is demanding they work for us.
We’re demanding they don’t come here and demand money. If they don’t want to provide content for free like the rest of us, we don’t mind them not being here.
When you insist that everything is free, that's exactly what you're doing...
And who made you King of the fedi? Who are you to decide that everything has to be free?
No one is demanding them full stop. If you want to make us pay, we don’t want you. That’s an un-demand.
I’m one voice of a community. As you can tell from many of the other posts in here, it seems to be a majority sentiment on the majority leftist Fediverse.
Weird, "fuck off" sounds a lot like a demand...
Who is "we"?
My point, exactly.
The point is, we are enjoying free content without any advertising and monetisation slapped on. If that happens, then we just leave, we are not demanding free content, we just consume it because it exists. The donation model is the only one that works in this space, or this space fails as another attempt at capitalism where it wasn't needed or requested.
Don’t be obtuse.
Demand as in want, not demand as in order.
We is the community.
And the majority of the community agrees. My voices and theirs reflect that.
