And zero self awareness lmao

Lol the irony

Yep. This is it. “Leftists” on Lemmy really love the. exploitation of free labor. As long as it’s DeCeNtrALiZeD exploitation.

The problem is people don’t put their money where their mouth is. Even less in the scale needed to produce a product of the quality te average person expects. You see this again and again. It’s very nice to think it works, but it doesn’t. A random guy saying “actchually I donated 1 Monero” doesn’t mean a project is financially sustainable.

This is what people don’t realize. If you want something good, you have to pay people for their time and talent. Free products that are free because of ideology are just exploitation with extra steps.

No. Did you read my message? If I wanted to pay I’d expect quality lmao.

Yeah, everyone loves the fruits of free labor.

Considering your answer to payments solution was "This is trivial.’ it sounds like a) You’ve never run a business and b) you’re more interested in fantasizing than a realistic conversation.

I see what you’re saying. I guess I’m a bit biased from having had a conversation in the previous days with someone whose idea of “helping” a dev was hounding them with complaints, telling them how to do their job and them blasting them on social media when they answered with a ban.

I guess we agree that it’s up to each dev to clarify what kind of support, if any, they are looking for.

You don’t think money is encouraging? You can also hire people with that money, instead of volunteeras. Idk what devs you’ve been listening to, but I haven’t hear anyone who actively refuses donations or tips for their project.

My point is, if you appreciate someone, put your money where your words are. Anyone can get “encouragement” for free.

Volunteering is good too, I guess, but in general I don’t think people should work for free. At all.

With money? Yeah. Otherwise, don’t bother.

That’s why it’s… The way it is lmao

Yes. Journalist is a job. If you aren’t getting paid you aren’t one. You aren’t a chef for cooking at home for yourself lmao

No. Because a) you don’t have to and b) no one is paying you

Bro discovered Christianity

You can’t be that sick of it if you want even let go of the place.

I think we have archeological evidence for Jesus. Just not for the miracles obviously.
