    Onec again the “Everything that’s not FOSS will turn to shit at one point or another” theorem proves true.

      Yeah but foss has its own problems. Mainly financing. People are expected to work for free on most open source projects, and some do because they enjoy it. I do that myself too. Its fun.

      But foss doesnt create products that require a lot of funding to get off the ground.

      And if a FOSS project turns into shit a fork will come up.

      One perfect example was simple apps acquisition. New owners turned it a ad ridden mess, fossify apps fork came to the rescue.
