Exactly my ‘semi-’sarcastic comment.
It’s been happening with “open source” for quite a while, as well - sure, it’s free. But if you want anything to be ‘production-grade’, you’re paying out the nose in subscription licenses for plugins, themes, security add-ons, blah, blah, blah endlessly.
It’s just another way that WILL be used to stifle free speech - instead of trying the old way of just turning off a switch (which doesn’t work anymore), you have to make it financially unbearable for low-cost communications.
