Tech bros are only interested in getting the results from open source. They want the free software from their slaves, they aren't interested in paying anything.
Tech companies, for a while, added a bit to open source as it was in their own self interest, but they still shut out everything that wasn't them, they still make the internet in the horrible stonewalled garden that it is today. No account? Half the internet isn't accessible to you anymore
Fuck all the big tech and social media companies
That's why we need the GNU AGPLv3
