    You’re telling me people were getting paid for their Geocities pokemon fansites and shit like that? Shit, I for sure missed out on that opportunity.

    I don’t remember getting paid for running an entire phpBB forum in my basement for three years in the early 2000s either. I have some stuff out there I’m STILL not getting paid for, just check my profile. Entire electronics schematics, created by myself and free of charge.

    Unlike your statement, some people actually DO want to give things out for free.

    You’re also literally on a social media site largely run by donations and the willingness of the admins to continue doing it.

      Good news, people, do what you are describing. You literally described it. But also some people make things for money, a lot do. And a lot did in the past too.

      You’re contradicting yourself here so you’re gonna need to define better what you are actually mad about
