      Making a burner account isnt that hard and hardly a shittification in my books.
      Just a measure to ensure the free api access is correctly monetized which is a valid reason for a service to me.

      Would you work for free for your workplace without a compensation beyond a $5 bill and a pat on the back at times because your boss felt generous?

        Misleading question. These kinds of communities are volunteer-fed, so you are basically asking me if I would work for free for a charity, which is the point. Things change notoriously when the boss then decides to monetize the entire thing for themself and not for you.

          Well yes.
          I go with the 2nd view because IMO the first option barely applies anymore with the current business course and decision.
