I started seeing more and more non-free content (paywalled or non freely licensed articles and videos) and less Creative Commons or freely licensed content.
All of this is making me worried about the free content future.
Why aren’t people worried about that and why they are not doing something about it?
I don’t know of any non-profit currently that advocate for free-er world, which is essential for the libre culture.
There are non-profits around every community and city and settlement pretty much throughout the world … they’re called libraries that house plain old paper books that are more or less free to read for anyone interested.
Most of the useful, relevant, education, informative and useful content we need as individuals is already freely available in open source books and reading material in license free ebooks and websites - the internet archive has a ton of content - wikipedia is also a great resource and if it doesn’t have the relevant or objective information you want, it is usually a starting point for the reader to find more.
The majority of the rest of the internet … I’d say about 80% to 90% of it is just useless mindless repeated, rehashed, reposted content from what is already available in libraries … or it’s just useless entertainment nonsense to fill people’s time with bits of information to make us laugh, smile or worry.
