I started seeing more and more non-free content (paywalled or non freely licensed articles and videos) and less Creative Commons or freely licensed content.
All of this is making me worried about the free content future.
Why aren’t people worried about that and why they are not doing something about it?
I don’t know of any non-profit currently that advocate for free-er world, which is essential for the libre culture.
Free and open source software and content has never been more prolific, nor has it ever been so widespread and successful. It’s not going anywhere.
Your personal exposure to it, and what you may see and hear of it can fluctuate and vary, depending on where you’re looking who you’re listening to. It can also be affected by marketing pushes from for-profit companies. That doesn’t mean there’s any less of it or that it’s somehow dying.
There had never been a time when free and open source of software and content has been so prolific, successful, and popular. It will only get more so moving forward. And while there are certainly those who would work against it, I doubt there is much to fear about it going away.
