In this week's totally grassroots and natural discussion topics I keep seeing these two themes repeated over and over again (here and elsewhere): Open source developers should be paid employees - nay they must be! - oh and Firefox sucks. Boy does it suck. They're going to be just like Chrome, just watch.

It's like the "No for real bro I totally love paying for YouTube what the hell is wrong with you you freeloader" shit all over again.
