If you build a product and a community around a certain set of values, and then you completely swap value systems its a rug pull. They build a user base by offering something they don't intend to continue offering. What the fuck else do you want to call it?

If someone offers you free stuff for a while, then stops offering it, you should show gratitude for having the privilege of receiving the fruit of their work for free.

You should show gratitude, not hostility.

		I agree with that, but it’s also fine for us to be skeptical of products that are clearly headed down that path, and recommend people not use them. That is what we are discussing here.
