Today I've had a few remainders of how much I dislike how the software industry is funded. Its mostly ads, or stepping in as unnecessary middlemen. Sometimes we coerce users to pay, but that's negligible. Or we push the problem off by telling a good story to venture capitalists.
Really we need to rework our economic system. We need systemic change.
But until then: Pay for the things you benefit from online, especially when you're not coerced to!
