Open source is about ideas being freely shared and iterated on. Open hardware has benefits, making a lot of things more accessible to people. It's not the end all of sustainability, but it doesn't pretend to be either.

I see season 1-9 packs on both IPT and TL.

To be fair that's a pretty recent development. Jellyfin apps for smart tvs are only just becoming stable enough for real use. Plex was the only option for a long time.

I run Lemmy, Plex, and a bunch of other services from a desktop in my basement. It works great. The Lemmy docker setup is a little finicky but works well once you get it.

Do you want companies to follow the law or not? Why even have truth in advertising laws if no one is going to enforce them?

There are quite a few creators who are primarily funded off patreon and release content to YouTube. I imagine a group like MCDM (Matt Colville) who has patreon, merch, crowdfunding, and products doesn't really care about ad revenue.

I disagree. Each distro is a user of a thousand different open source systems. When a distro developer integrates gnome, systemd, bluez, or whatever other system they're finding, reporting, and possibly fixing bugs that end users might miss. Other than arch users, who else is compiling these things from scratch and really digging into the documentation?
