@chaosprime @wirehead2501 “well, tipping isn’t required by law so it’s OK if I don’t tip this person earning $2.35 an hour”
@XaiaX @wirehead2501 There's a social contract arrogated here about how "everyone knows" things work that I, for one, haven't consented to.

@chaosprime@wirehead2501 then DON’T GO TO THE SITE -
@XaiaX@wirehead2501 Sure, as soon as the site owners request that it be de-indexed from Google.

@chaosprime@wirehead2501 this is the crux. You feel entitled to their labor as your birthright, why? Why do you HAVE TO GO? -
@XaiaX@chaosprime --hey, i really love your work and it means a lot to me, would you rather i continued to enjoy it and gave you nothing-- -
@wirehead2501@chaosprime that’s not your choice to make -
@XaiaX@chaosprime of course it is. i am the person choosing what content to consume. -
@wirehead2501@chaosprime except you’re saying “I know you put this up with ads but I don’t care I’m taking it anyway.” -
@XaiaX@wirehead2501 Is there some part of Google results I'm missing where it says "this site is ad-supported"? -
@chaosprime@wirehead2501 the part where it’s literally anything that is not a vanity project or explicitly donation-ware? -
@XaiaX@chaosprime idgi. again: i work on open source software. it DOES all basically work, defying capitalist expectations of disaster. - 3 more replies
