Lazyweb 2.0
Effort is currency on the lazyweb.
They say:
“Isnt it great? freeware, open source, shareware (you can ignore), cracks, hacks, everything for free!, but don’t give me bad, no if its free it has to be good, in fact – tailored, bug free, great for me”
“the lazyweb will solve it, the lazyweb will fix it, I can count on someone getting enough kudos from solving/creating/fixing/updating it to get what I need for free. If they fuck it up I will complain and ruin them, yes my opinion counts”
“Hang on, I am taking some time out of my day to use this free/share/open/ware/service, you are ’stealing’ my attention! you owe me a good service. If I bother to use your thing (even though the thing is free) surely your thing has to be good, surely I am now giving you my time, you must justify it by giving me good service. Now now now! If not I will use your competitor. How dare you steal my time!”
“If i bother to download your free software or use your free service, or use your open source work and make it into something I own and can make money from, something that improves my life! But I will not pay, not in any way. Unless you give me a reason to pay – then I might.
As good will on the internet grows, so does bad attitude.
