>Live long and prosper. Relevant. Star Trek is a post-scarcity society where people invent and create solely for the betterment of humanity. You know what else isn't "free" to create? Game mods. Yet I can go out there right now and download several hundred mods for any game that can be modded for free and most times without even a way to possibly pay the creator. I've also spent 100s of hours of my own time creating mods / helping communities on discord or reddit despite there never being a possible financial gain. I genuinely wonder what the software world / internet would be like if everyone were in it only if their time were compensated with money. Horrible place. We wouldn't be having this conversation right here right now that's for sure.
