I still don't understand why it gets all the hate, turns out there's a blog post addressing anime BS precisely: https://xeiaso.net/blog/2025/avoiding-becoming-peg-dependency/
And it's all there: "You can change it in the source of course, nothing prevents you from it",— it actually seems pretty polite, but I'm sure the dev can get nasty about it, all shit thrown in that direction considered. So what?

There's always a way: don't like it — don't use it! Like "OMG, how dare anyone ask for donations?!" — okay, what's better: living off donations from those who do that voluntarily or working for an evil corporation that does all the evil by proxy and just extracts its revenue from us to pay them salary?

This particular thing was even originally done in a Fedi-friendly way, allowing links and whatnot through — yeah, it was just checking user agent, which is lame, but so what? In the end it would just get replaced with that abomination "Choose all bicycles! NOW!!! And you can go fuck yourself with your w3m!" — would that be any better? I think not. Yet people keep attacking lesser evil until some devil incarnate takes its place, something that they can't bring down just by shit-smearing it on Fedi. What is the point?
