    People on the internet are too used to having everything for free. But then they also want no ads and trackers. Do they expect everything to be built by some slaves or by volunteers?

    I just don’t get why this should be an unpopular opinion at all.

    p.s. I don’t use Facebook. Or any other social media really.

      I expect some sods grandma (or even my own) to watch the ad on my behalf.

      I feel like those “I want FOSS for everything” people seriously thinks software devs are slaves who must fulfill their wishes at any time and if they happened to make money in some way or other, it’s like they are the devils themselves.

      it doesn’t matter if it’s a company or one guy who purely spends his free time with a project.
