It is always interesting to see a site where many users are all about free market and generally libertarianish thinking Craig should provide the infrastructure for them to monetize off of, because information should be free or something.
I guess we need to heavily regulate these digital monopolies, coerce them somehow.
Wonder why Craig doesn't like it..
Before pointing a finger at Craig, how about you build something from grounds up, get to Craig's level and then allow anyone else to just take stuff away from you, piece by piece.
He is still providing value to people by letting people post and use it. Of-course he is making money, but anything worth charging will be charged.
He is just as passionate about his site and what he has built as you are. Maybe he just doesn't want you to build a building on his island. So be it, there is a whole world out there waiting for you.
Bottom line : Stop wasting time, build something else. You are smart enough to work on a completely unique idea of your own. Why spend your energy on sipping from someone else's ocean when you have an ocean inside you.
