I don't know why this comment is grey. It's a reasonable idea.


Apparently I escaped the grey! Thanks for the vote of confidence.

It’s always strange to see grey comments with no responses explaining why anyone disagrees. In some cases it’s clear – maybe someone appears to be a troll or something. In this case I wonder why someone would downvote me for wanting to support content creators. It isn’t a perfect analogy but it seems that selling software to users is something a lot of us here can get behind – wouldn’t we want our users to want to support us? Maybe I’m missing something though.
