Can I get some clarification of which thing we're talking about? I'm reading the thread about podcasters that were formerly making podcasts for free, and are now charging. That was what my response was to.
Your comments about being part of a community seem to talk about something else. Sure, there are plenty of hobbyist forums where everyone contributions and we all consume the results. That's very different to a podcaster taking the time to research their topic, write a script, go through all the effort of recording, editing, and maintaining all the production infrastructure and promotion of the podcast.
Are you still talking about podcasts or community driven content on forums?
It was you who started screaming about me not wanting to pay for stuff lol.
Whatever, keep paying if you can't find like-minded people I guess.
Screaming? Apologies if you read that tone, that wasn't my intent.
I was responding to this line you wrote in your first post:
As for this:
In many cases may not pay, but I also don't expect the creator do to the work for free. I can choose to go without the content and not pay. However I don't blame or judge the creator for charging for their work. They have a choice and I do too. I just don't complain about the choice the creator (as a Podcaster in the context of this thread) makes if it means I have to go without. They own me nothing.
I guess the funny part is you trying to explain basic capitalism(or whatever you are trying to explain; I need something I pay for it, I shouldn't be "EnTiTLeD" whatever that was about ...) For free :-)
Well, you seem to need it. Your argument seems to suggest you are upset that podcasters want to be paid for the work they used to do for free.
Do you have an alternate explanation for your view?
