Not all the profit, really. All would imply there was no value to begin with. I get the dislike, but i still comment on the open web because it has value to me. I'm still willing to answer questions on SO/reddit/etc because it has value to at least one (and hopefully more) people. That hasn't changed.

Not sure what to say about companies making money off of my data.. but the posting itself doesn't seem to be that much of a negative.

Thoughts? I see this sentiment a lot and it almost feels like "open" is bad these days. If anything i feel it almost is more important than ever.. as we're on the cusp of no need to ever go to forums/interact/etc.
