Like every stage in life, it has its pros and cons.

I am an old person.

Many companies like websites, tv, radio, etc. depend on the revenues from advertisers to pay their workers and expenses. If they didn’t have that, everything would likely turn to susbscription or a regular pleading for money so they could continue.

Yes. I have a strong opinion on the subject and have shared it extensively among my close friends.

I don’t know the answer to the first question. It was a Mennonite thing. All members had to be Mennonite or in a Mennonite church (there are lots of non-Mennonites going to Mennonite churches), or connected to a Mennonite organization.That probably helped to keep costs down as we tend to be honest and experienced at community cooperation. I believe the management was hired by one of the Mennontie conferences.

Totally. I don’t know if it’s unique to Lemmy (I’m not on other social medias) or a movement in general, but there seems to be some kind of satisfaction in being able to say how terrible like is. I’ve lived in a third world country and am a history author. We in the west have it really good in comparison.

It has always been like this relatively speaking, in post hunter/gatherer society. Except there was a very small middle class in those days The nobles as compared to the serfs were the same. Except that the serfs hung at the edge of survival whereas we have indoor plumbing, decent shelter, electricity, tv, internet, healthcare, workers rights, and the priviledge of travel.

Not the same, but we had a crowd source house insurance setup. Basically, all the costs of the year were added up and then split between members. It was about half the cost of regular insurance.
