As a software developer I am huge supporter of Mozilla’s developer initiatives from Manifest V2 implementation to MDN. But it’s also important to be realistic Mozilla has long had major money problems, and not the kind that giving them more would fix.
The Lunduke shit again? The one that takes offense to money being donated to support “politics” i.e abortion rights?
Take a look at the other trash he posts on his reddit profile. That blog is not a trustworthy source, by any stretch, and it’s sweetly ignoring that he’s not looking at Mozilla’s spending alone, but of 3 separate entities that exist under the umbrella of the Mozilla Foundation.
I don’t think this is a money making move. The previous CEO was absolutely overly focused on monetization and this move is a step away from that. I should’ve addressed this more explicitly in the above comment but even for the players who actively monetize, AI is a money incinerator.
