I miss the days of never even thinking of paying for a mod, when making a mod was simply for fun so you could share with others.
Sad sad world we live in now a days where even being asked to mod for free is seen as wrong, because any time not spent on a paying job means you very well could be going hungry.
Capitalism, yey!
If anyone else just wanted this article to get to the fucking point already, here is the original nexus post:

This is actually amazing, I don’t understand what the other comments on this Lemmy post are about/if they even read this post on Nexus.
To summarize:
- no incomplete free versions of paid mods
- no patches for paid mods on a site for free mods
- no modpacks that require paid mods
- only limited advertising of paid mods
This is extremely levelheaded. I think other’s might just read this headline and think they are introducing paid mods, but they don’t!
Paid mods is ok as long as 100% goes to the modder
You also need to verify that the modder isn’t stealing another modder’s work, which can be challenging.
Sure, but solvable
