Comments like these are such a demotivator to keep making scripts and giving them for free... People start expecting everything for free, be entitled to even trash the people who sell something... fuck off, don't like it don't buy it, move on ungrateful prick... set up your ai and never get out of your basement and meet another human being
Seems like a touchy topic when you get that emotional and even down to insults.
Insult me all you want if that makes you feel better, I am against the monetisation of a few kb of value pairs, but that wasn't really my point.
My point was the inappropriate advertising of it, there are places for such, and in my opinion here is none of them.
If I feel like to, I post my opinion, ... if you wanna hate me for that, be my guest, if you wanna discuss about how often I leave my basement and meet ppl in RL, you may write me a PM (just don't expect any answer).

Once you've calmed down, you may explain this.
As I see it, we have 2 different kind of scripters.
The first kind script for money, not for passion, if they give some scripts away for free, they mostly (! -> yes, there are exceptions of course) do it as a sort of (more or less) hidden advertising, heck, even over there where paid scripts are a part of the whole, it became too much and too bothersome so they ruled that out of the free section to an extent.
The second kind script for passion, for joy, and for the love to share and show stuff they have created.
With your statement, I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) you aim on the first kind of scripters.
If so, fine, very fine by me if they get demotivated, that's what I mentioned the AI's for, once we are there, it will dry out the ground they milk the people on.
But the demotivation works the other way around as well.
Maybe the attention, advertising and money-making demotivates and frustrates the second kind of scripters and creators.
Maybe, just maybe, some helpful tools doesn't make/made it to public because of that, or because creators just don't wanna see their hard work misused for monetisation?
Maybe, just maybe, some people hold back their collection of hand-made scripts because of that?
And one last thing about 'ungrateful', ... I am grateful for all those countless hours creators of whatever spend, about what they share, what they contribute to the community, here, on the whole Milovana forum and webpage, FOR FREE, FOR MANY, MANY YEARS! That's what whole Milovana is made of, that's what it is all about, to share joy and passion, not to make a few fucking bucks.
If it's 'ungrateful' that I don't jump for joy if someone who sells like 98% of his work and then suddenly feels generous enough to share one of his scripts for free (for advertising?), then sure, call me 'ungrateful'.

But you just forced me to waste valuable time having to read your BS.
In other words, STFU.
Yeah, yeah, I know, truth hurts, don't worry, I love you, too!
And btw.: I would appreciate arguments over insults, if insults is all what you have, then you must lack some arguments.
