Why would bringing up sustainability of any business be comical at Hacker news?

How do you make money? Why should it not be for free? Your sustainability is important?

Hacker ethos is about freedom to control what you own and put it to the purposes that you, its owner, want. DRM takes away that freedom, so it is obviously incompatible.

If that freedom makes e.g. Disney business model unsustainable, then that business model is itself incompatible with the ethos.

You're still missing the point, and I believe intentionally so.

You absolutely do not or you would not engage in the work you do. Actions speak louder than words. Being dishonest only makes it even worse.
