    That doesn’t make it ethical or absolve the abuse of power by the host.

    Owning a thing doesn’t mean anything you do with it is ethical or void of any abuse. If I own something and have the community help me develop it, there are unspoken values and expectations that violating would make me a shit head and the more people I rug pull the greater the violation I put out there in the world. The more you rely on the community the more these violations matter.

      And yet, it means jack all since you have 0 control over it. You can cry foul all you want, but the only thing that matters is whether or not you leave. Their power, and ability to abuse it, stems solely from that. Having a discussion of ethics when Musk is involved… Just go yell at a wall.
