If he is donating, then he should tell people that he is donating. The whole idea of “if you tell people of your goodwill then you undid your goodwill” is stupid. Yes, you shouldn’t do something good with the expectation of a reward, but that’s different when you are selling a product.

It’s not even just about goodwill, it is also about longevity of the platform.

However, considering the facts that he is running ads and charging for ad-free access, I doubt he is donating by default unless he specifically mentions it.

Also, I’m not holding any standard here, it’s just that like, shitpost is for actual shitposts. This isn’t a shitpost, it’s just starting another argument. It’s like the porn spam in /b/, there are other boards for that.

It’s also not just here, I’m seeing boards everywhere popping up with this argument. It is getting old.
