I can't disagree with this more. Open-source software has proved this model already. Free things =/= bad things.

This is the internet, notorious for fast & scalable & lowcost solutions. There are legit money-making subreddits out there which, again, are **completely free to setup**.

Paying for communities isn't helping cover dev expenses as is. Burning STEEM doesn't feed developers, at least not directly enough. We need to think of a new way to go about that, communities should not be in that discussion.
