I mostly expect people to just not believe me when I claim I coined a viral phrase. I actually keep links to the source and stuff. Credit or none, I’m happy about it every time I see someone say it! I imagine it’s how people feel who make open source software and this mentality is what defeats the capitalist notion that nobody would contribute for free.
If we weren’t so fixed on concentrating wealth and hoarding tools and IP, we could pretty well eliminate poverty. More can be made when everyone can access tools to be productive. There’s just always the issue of how people won’t CARE to nicely maintain things they aren’t claiming ownership of. High economy of scale tools like flexographic presses need to be carefully maintained and it’s best done with personal interest at stake it seems.

Dad once told me that money can’t buy happiness, but poverty can buy misery. Whatever that’s worth.
Good job, yo. And thanks. We need to share our fresh, creative ideas.

it’s not like people would just lie on the internet, is it?

Heard, but my experience was positive.
Appreciate you looking out.
