(Anonymous) 2023-08-18 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)But they're not the same thing at all. You're just arguing with someone who's distorting your argument and accusing you of irrelevant things.
The thing is, the people wanting to sell stuff in fandom are always standing on the unpaid work of other people. Most of them learned to do what they do from free tutorials and free resources. And they try to self-promote and brand and monetize in spaces where people are congregating for social purposes, and never consented to listen to sales pitches. It's a baldfaced attempt to enrich themselves at the expense of the commons, and it happens over and over.
I'm starting to think we'd have a use for something like the open source "you can use this any way except commercially" license, in fandom, if we could sort out how to enforce it.
But understand that fans saying "this behavior is bad and the people who do it are unwelcome" is an existential threat to their intended business model. That's why you've got anons being as unpleasant as possible about telling you that you're wrong. And running up and down this thread trying to do that.
