And fuck you theverge.com for your paywall. archive
Are we against journalism now too?
There are better ways to do what you are implying. The entire FOSS movement is an example of this.
Free doesn't mean free beer.
I would say that the FOSS movement is proof that some form of payment may be required, otherwise most projects are at the mercy of subsidies from corporations.
But Jellyfin!
Jellyfin is sponsored.
Imagine wanting remuneration for time and labour.
I accidentally bypassed the paywall by clicking one of the links to a different article (the "Go fuck yourself, Bambu" link to GN) and then clicking the back button. When I landed back on the Verge article, the "subscribe to the verge to continue reading" message was gone and I had the full article text.
Only worked once tho, I just tried to do it again and I still get the "subscribe" message now.
