It’s hard not to feel pessimistic about this one.

If anything it's the least harmful way of generating a profit. Better than restricting parts of the site. Besides, a subscription service like this is something employers will most likely be paying for, not developers – unless you're a freelancer, in which case it still would count as a business expense.

Hey Mozilla, just writing to thank you for your excellent documentation. The only real problem I have is how free it is. Is there any way I can send you money every month in perpetuity. Thanks.

Mozilla's given me a lot of reasons to be skeptical of much of their last few years but I think this is relatively safe. I don't think they can mess this one up. Web Docs, the bit most people here care about is open source and has many contributions from MS/Google also, so they can't really paywall it or make it too expensive or they'd just go back to hosting that content themselves on msdn or web.dev

If they want to launch a paid newsletter/tutorials site with the same name, it doesn't really affect me much
