Let me be clear: FOSS needs and deserves our financial support.

But this isn't really about money.

It's about how fraught it is to build a commons and a community on the back of proprietary platforms which follow a predictable pattern: in which VC money is used to subsidize free or severely discounted services to disrupt a market and create a captive audience which they then squeeze.

The incentives are simply not aligned for good outcomes.
