the average consumer hates anything open source or not owned by corporations. they hate free stuff and would much rather pay for the opportunity for corporations to harvest their data and control their lives. this is possibly due to very successful psyops campaigns to induce trust in corporations, distrust in non-corporate produced software and services, and the idea that open-source stuff is just for geniuses or hackers and the layperson will never understand how to use it at best, or it will destroy your computer at worst. it’s something I’m beginning to learn.
