love how every time ao3 does a donation drive we have to explain the concept of operating costs to thousands of people who have apparently never had to manage money
like truly it is so funny that this site full of self-proclaimed communists has a nonzero number of people who bitch about funding what is essentially a public service. it’s like people who piss and moan about paying taxes, vote to cut them, and then act surprised when the public library no longer has convenient hours and the fire department takes twice as long to arrive
Today I saw someone on Twitter claim that AO3 is “the opposite of socialist” because it requires money to run. Literally, that pooling resources to make essential goods and services freely available to everyone was capitalist, because socialism… shouldn’t… require… resources?
I don’t even know.
