"self-hosting is too expensive," said the YouTuber, using thousands of dollars of video production equipment because all the cool kids use it and if he doesn't use it, he won't get any viewers (he doesn't get any viewers anyway)

Ich bin dankbar für die Erfahrungen in meinem Leben, die mir etwas anderes fühlbar gemacht haben.

@abortretryfail I fully understand that some people might get upset that people exercise their software freedom to e.g., make expensive commercial versions -- but it is a right that we care about, and a right that is important for FLOSS.

One can also often solve it by using a good copyleft license (GPLv3, AGPLv3 are good choices for that, companies like to avoid them), instead of making up your own license that the community and authors have a very fundamental disagreement about....
