Yes! Now I get to continue enjoying the fruits of unpaid labor. Even better I’ll be able to complain about every niche issue I have without ever contributing anything. Woohoo!

I too met my wife on Omegle. It was in text chat. We were both around 14 years old at the time. I don’t remember what talked about but we ended up exchanging phone numbers. We texted for years and would sometimes play video games together.

Eventually towards the end of high school I was able to fly out to visit her. I did that a few times and was totally convinced at the point I was in love. So I moved across the country to be with her after graduation.

Married and few years ago and we’re 27 now so it’s been 13 years since we met on there. :)

That’s such a silly argument. Nobody is forcing you to buy Fortnite skins when your kid is starving. Monetary incentives are how the things people want get created. Yes, there would still be plenty of content on the internet if we banned monetization of digital goods but it would be overwhelmingly incoherent and low quality.

It would also destroy the livelihood of millions of people. What about their children? Do they not deserve to eat?

Edit: I should add that it would be more reasonable for you to say “food and healthcare should be available to everyone”. That’s not an unreasonable statement.

Digital goods are infinite but the cost to produce them is real. If stock images were free there wouldn’t be very many of them.
