The thing is… They are ideas. I belive that you should not put a price or any restriction to an idea. It is like, “oh I found a mathematic proof for something and I will sell it”. You are basically stagnating an entire sector of human discovery because of your selfish endeavour to make more money. If we are talking about physical stuff, like hardware parts and the amount of work that should be ammounted to it, then yeah, people should pay for physical stuff. How are these people are gonna get payed? You can pay them if you are making hardware that runs these ideas and pay them through hardware sales. Otherwise, donations and public media funds. The system only benefits those who host the ideas and not those who make the ideas themselves. They should get most of the credit and a public media fund where we all pay for access to media will be the best way to ensure good work will exist.
