  We paid for the development of the internet. We contributed the content. Now we watch the yacht owners take advantage of both because regulators are asleep at the wheel owned by corporations.

    You didn’t think people used the answers for non-profit FOSS projects only. So what has changed?

    Yeah, we paid for the development of the internet. We also paid for the building of roads and other infrastructure. We do and did that so that we would benefit from new and better services. That these services are provided by (for profit) corporations was always part of the plan.

    Yes, some people profit more than others. So it seems fair to me, that higher incomes should pay higher taxes. This is something that has changed.

      also paid for the building of roads and other infrastructure.

      Except we don’t (generally) get charged again for using those roads once they have been built.

        WDYM? Who is charged again for what?

        Roads require constant maintenance, which is paid for through taxes. Obviously, we’re not charged for the building or maintenance of most roads.

  Tbf they never let me contribute. They said I needed to earn some reputation by contributing before I could be allowed to contribute.

  Back when you were contributing that content were you expecting to get paid?
