Dumpster fire still burning. Throwing gas on the flames did not fix the problem. News at 11.
You add years upon years of value, get nothing more than a sense of fulfillment while they get paid, and get booted out.
I’m sorry, man. That has to sting.
Yeah that’s my only concern and why I stick with the major instances, for now. I know monetization for the sake of running the services is going to have to come at some point.

I just don’t understand the purpose of this guy’s interview tour and insistence on trying to make the developers the villain. It would simply be better for the brand if he said absolutely nothing.
For years, Twitter held an outsized position in the social conversation and Elon has managed to ruin that. It was the single biggest strength, IMO. No one spoke about someone’s Facebook posts or Reddit posts; society spoke about people’s Tweets. The idiot ruined that and somehow this dope wants to emulate him?
