We don't want to work to make someone else rich. That doesn't mean we don't want to work. I'm commenting right now using an OS that's developed by thousands who worked on it for free.
Make the work meaningful and fulfilling, and you most likely wont even have to pay someone to do it.
For example, I love to tinker with and repair electronics. I'd probably be more than happy to diagnose a broken Xbox or TV for you once in a while, because I love doing it.
Imagine having to have a different web browser for every website you visited
I don't have to imagine it, I'm old enough to have lived through it. Websites used to say stuff like "best viewed with Netscape Navigator" or "Best with at least 800x600 resolution" because web elements back then were fixed in place and didn't resize with the browser window or resolution. It was...a different time. Wild west shit.
Someone tell them they don't need federated systems for that, they could have done the same on a phpBB forum from 2004.
