That's stupid.

Enough.

Don't you understand that there are quite a lot of people who
are
perfectly fine with the idea of sharing their work with the world, without
asking
anything in return? People actually do that intentionally. Haven't you ever
heard
of altruism? So where exactly do you get the idea that "you have to pay for
something you get" ?

Simply sucking on energy of those that are willing to give it to you
does not justify your parasitic nature.


Wow. Just. Wow.

Would ANY of you would be willing to work for free and waste
YEARS of their lives not to be acknowledged and being taken care of?


Where exactly do you get this preposterous idea that people who share their
work
with anyone are somehow "wasting years of their lives"? Are you for real?
