"More profit is our first priority" is a mantra that has sent many companies into bankruptcy. Stack Overflow used to be based on "making the internet a better place", but that is perhaps too much to ask for anymore. It is looking more and more like a skit from SNL in here. I also like how their negotiations "barely" saved us from being firehosed by whatever ad was paying the most. Can't wait to see some NSFW content on a site expected to be the gold standard in industry. | |

Collectives have not gone very far so far and I predict (without any good or bad will) that it will likely remain that way in the near future. I welcome the clarity in this announcement. I means I don't even need to try to change their course. Saves me time. | |
| Dec 1, 2021 at 8:49 | comment | added | Travis J | Well said. If it were acting in the community's best interests, this wouldn't be such a $%&^ show. Fact is: they aren't. This is an attempt to monetize something that is not in the community's best interest, and it is not going well; on top of that, we are being told that it is literally an ultimatum. | |

| Nov 30, 2021 at 13:14 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | At least they're honest about it. And as it's said: money makes the world go round. There is a probably a maximum of profit that one can get out of SO and if one tries too hard one might probably fail, but maximizing profit and profiting from other peoples' work is kind of normal in many parts of the world. | |
