I seriously do not understand where this idea of "profiting off someone else's work" even comes from. I am on Meta's side here 100%.

Me too, and I'm not even a fan of meta to begin with, but paying to link to another site is a pure violation of the way the Internet was supposed to work.

I don't even like Meta and I agree, the law is horrible
