You're implying that there is something shameful with providing a market for connectivity which allows for people who can't afford to work for free to participate. What is shameful about this?

Taking attention from a free community project to market your for profit company certainly isn't a purely altruistic thing to do.

theres still a monthly fee for free. weird right.

Taking attention? I have enough attention for both. Who cares if it isn't altruistic? 99.9% of human interaction isn't, and most of it is positive.

Shameless and full of snake oil this time lol

Replacing few freeloader nodes in a volunteer network with a whole rent-seeking company. Pretty sad.
