i was never fooled by their "we're too good for you" stance, so i'm not even slightly inclined to apply for access. ever.

one of the best things about the web is that nobody has to ask permission from anyone else to make their speech free.

i don't think the internet is free. Everything has a price. For example if you blog you've to pay for hosting, for a domain. Although $10 is nothing for for some asian countries it's a big communt.

If you get it free still you can only do that until their money runs out like what happened to tumblr or else they'll put ads like what yahoo is about to do to tumblr. And wordpress ads that suck.

So the internet is not free as people think it is.

when i was talking about free speech, i was talking about "free" as in "speech", not "free" as in "beer".

although, to be honest, i also know of no free beer.
