If the value your community provides is low enough that it can be effectively replaced by a general purpose LLM, then it should be. The value of a community should be pushing the boundaries of knowledge, not gatekeeping it.

We've had an infestation of "pay me or I won't share" types.

More like an infestation of "open = I must be able to exploit and abuse for profit" entitled SV VC types.

"Information should be free" doesn't work when you have Microsoft inserting itself as a middleman of information.

The community is not gatekeeping knowledge, anyone can join. It merely tries to keep certain corporations out...
