@Blender I have read both and I still don't understand why Blender is accepting financial dependence on a corporation that is actively destroying the open web with scraping, fueling the ongoing slop contribution denial of service attack against foss maintainers, is a major player in the industry that is actively harming digital artists, and numerous other harms; nor do I understand how you expect us not to be angry and heartbroken by this news. Perhaps you could explain it to us.

Even if... and that is a massive IF ... they have zero influence at the moment, the optics of accepting their cash is a shitshow on steroids. It looks like tacit acceptance at the very least, and it will likely come back to bite you in the ass.
Ya coulda just said, "Thanks, but no."

@Blender I did.
Fuck right off with that. I do not give a fuck about your excuses for accepting what is essentially blood money from a company that kills creativity and steals from the open source community with impunity. I regret ever giving a single dime to you and will not do so ever again. Fuck you. Fuck off.

@Blender It's not the announcement, that's tone-deaf. It's the actual acceptance of dirty money by a bad actor that's tone-deaf.
Just in case you forgot: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y4jpg922qo
They paid $1.5bn because they were IRREFUTABLY CAUGHT PIRATING.
