And my point is even extended further. So now they make the help inaccessible in a conquest of privacy? I don't care if the Main channel is locked. Heck, it should be, with only what 1% of serious BT users using FiSH? But to disregard the need of a help channel is a worse oversight in my opinion.
So, taking it down from the top:
No, they want to share their vision without the trouble that comes with it. Kind of like how you believe you should post what you like (rightfully so) but people have no right to criticize you for it or ask you to stop or harass you for voicing your opinion.
On the topic of profitability from art, how again do directors go about sustaining their films, and making shitty trailers for movies like Safe House? The high art world is full of people looking for nothing but profit, and if you're going to tell me you enjoy films as a critic, enjoying the auteur in films noirs, then you best be ready to explain why they vie for cultist appeal. Otherwise you're just compartmentalizing your logic depending on the medium.
This is actually edging closer to the ideals of sharing art, being surrounded by it, and being able to reproduce it in a free medium than anything else. Nothing is stopping these artists from sharing their work outside, and some even use it as demo medium. Some who have been scarred by the outside or don't want to lawyer up for controversial works offer it up as not-finished work etc.
