Nobody pays for open source. We can force them to.
- The first time I thought it would be a good idea to write a blog post about the economics of open source was 2013, so this post has been in the works a while.
- The closest I got before today was 2022, when I wrote a stream-of-consciousness rant into my iOS notes that ended with basically "nothing fucking works".
- And then that sat there for 4 more years, because "nothing works" is too depressing to bother writing 5000 words about.
