I definitely understand the reaction. This is an existential threat to Remix.

However, this is why I don't use Twitter. Remix is not just "an open-source project", it's a full-fledged company. This is definitely not the time (or the forum) to lay your cards out on the table...

It's a full fledged company and somehow Ryan Florence and the other guy are quite heavy handed in pushing their business which irks me. Even react router was moved to a business org called react training if I remember so that they could sell their courses. Now there is nothing wrong with earning money but this new wave of "open source" businesses is a bit yucky.

theres a lot of cognitive dissonance in monetization of open source by consumers of the product.

If you can't charge money for the software, selling courses is the next best thing. Why is it yucky?

It's not the training, it's the fact that they moved the project repo under the React Training organization, and now it's under Remix... Just comes off as a cheap attempt at marketing while ruining the OSS image of the project.

You can make convoluted software which creates an artificial need for your training or consulting service.

Also using OSS as a funnel for your business and then use your training to hype up your OSS projects

We've deviated from the OP, but I wanted to mention that this is why react-table and react-query bother me endlessly.
