      In the version of Vim that I am using (Vim 8.1), the “advertisement” appears to be randomly chosen between “Help poor children in Uganda!” and “Sponsor Vim development!”.

    Firefox. Every update you see some promotion of some of their services.

    If the ads aren’t optional and opt-in like in Brave, people will just create an identical fork except for the ads code being removed.

    Open source software don’t appreciate bloatware? I’m not sure why you asked this question.

      He’s probably curious about sustainable open source models. I’m curious about it too. How can we avoid another RedHat?
