  No. Their reward for having users is that they’re in control. Expecting users to then pay them for that control is fucking stupid,

  You DO realize that not everyone works to attain power over other people, right?

  but I don’t expect most people to realize it.

  The reason people don’t realize that site owners’ reward for forking over half a salary in hosting costs for some nebulous power to hold other people in their clutching fists and cackle maniacally is because that’s not the motivator here.

  I look forward to when you can see that.

    Bro, why do you just trust these people when they tell you what their expenses are?

    Even if some dumbass is spending $5000/month (which sounds like a load of bullshit if you’re not a moron) to host a fucking lemmy instance, why do you trust that they need to spend that money in order to provide the instance?

    Have you noticed how most people buy things they don’t need just because they can? If not, then you need more life experience and it makes sense that you would take admin’s word at face value when they try to sucker you out of money.

      You don’t sound like a very pleasant person to try and have a constructive conversation with.
