I have no help for you. Derailing is in my genetics (my grandfather derailed a train then died from a heart attack. The legacy must live on)

Thatā€™s weird ā€“ my grandfather got run over by a train. Cut off both his legs, but he survived.

On top of that, I donā€™t think we should expect BB to get by on good will and accolades solely. people gotta eat. As long as the advertising is clear, and isnā€™t for something heinous, I see no reason to complain about it. The only other option is maybe doing something like setting up a patreon account, or some other model thatā€™s solely donations based, but is that going to support everyone who gets paid for their labor?

yes, and i think so far advertising has been pretty clear. so i feel that goodwill is continued to be earned, even if there are suggestions on how to make disclosure better.
