You don't go into modding for the money. It's like making a non profit for the money. That's why they're getting backlash, they're asking money where money's not supposed to be involved.

it's like theyre making a non profit for the money, except the without the making a non profit part

This is such a shitty attitude 🤣

God forbid we pay for a fucking cup of coffee because that person should want to work for free. This is the same bullshit as "work hard play hard" and "we are family here". Might as well start telling modders it's not about the pay, it's the people and experience we're paying you in. Rent what's that?

You are all on a lemmy instance after 2 months of non stop bitching about non paid reddit moderators. Make up your damn mind.

Yes, again you don't mod for the money. If you're looking for that, you can create your own software. Other people in this thread made other good points, and this guy was trying to make a dlss mod subscription based, so fuck that guy. It's literally better if the mod doesn't exist in that case. Like I said with my analogy, it's like trying to create a non-profit for the profit. There's a million other avenues available to them if they want money. Especially because they are basing their work off of other's work whom are not getting paid, yet they are?

Also idk what you're talking about with the mod stuff but I do think it's dumb internet janitors do work for free lol, and they do it for power. I don't think they should be paid either.
