I use Linux and tons of other open source software daily. I have published and maintain a number of open source projects, and contribute regularly to others.
I also pay for closed source software and have a few proprietary apps that I sell.
There’s a place for both models, they’re not exclusive.

We must be using different Reddits, my friend
As VP he most likely stands to get a decent payout from the IPO.
It’s easy to think of Reddit as a dictatorship where everyone is deathly afraid of big bad spez, but the reality is that these types of corporate structures are usually completely rotten at the top.
Let me put it another way: do you think if spez were to be run over by a bus tomorrow, anything would change?
I’ll ignore your comments about the Nazis before we Goodwin this thread, but dude, what an awful comparison.
I disagree completely.
First, I thought we’d already collectively agreed that “I’m just following orders” doesn’t cut it as an excuse.
Second, he’s a VP, and as someone in a position of leadership he’s very much an active part of the problem.
YouTube premium doesn’t change anything about the videos themselves, so you still get the sponsor and like/subscribe plugs.
I understand there are extensions that remove that stuff but I’ve never tried them as I watch YouTube on many different devices and can’t be bothered to tweak each and every one. Also those don’t bother me that much and are easy enough to skip.
I’m impressed! Suggesting paying for YouTube premium on Reddit is a one-way ticket to downvotesville.
I pay for it too, and it’s completely worth it considering how much time I spend there every day (including music)…
Not to mention the other day I had to use normal YouTube on someone else’s computer and the ads are unbearable.
Crypto is bad though. If you can’t see it, you’re either one of the scammed or one of the scammers (in which case you can see it but pretend you don’t).
