Hoping for economics to stop mattering so you don't have to work any more is like hoping for gravity to stop mattering so you can fly. I've been aroun man. I was there in the ICQ days. I've seen this before. You either figure out how to monetize or watch it fail. Either it will be come irrelevant, or somebody will figure out how to make money off it in ways you're not going to like. Did you read the article?

Please go back and read what I actually said instead of what the voices in your head are saying.

You diagnosed me with terminal late-stage capitalism. The term implies that you believe capitalism will soon end. If that's true you've misunderstood economics and history. If you don't believe capitalism is ending, you shouldn't parrot the buzz-words de jure without understanding what they mean.

Read what I said. I said we need to figure out how to let people make money off Lemmy. We need to be in control of how it happens. If we just let it play out, somebody is going to come up with a way to make money off Lemmy in a way that will kill it.

P.S. Implying that I have mental illness is a personal attack, and very bad form. https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ad-hominem
