With #Flathub planning to add payments, donations and subscriptions, it seems a lot of people are worried they might turn corporate, and gain too much power on the #Linux app distribution side of things.
While I generally find centralization to be a bad thing, in this case, I feel it carries no risk of creating a problem in the future.
So, here's why I think that, no, Flathub isn't going to turn "evil" or "corporate" just because they add payments to the platform.
