We need easy to use, non subscription micro payments. I was hopeful Bitcoin would do this but sadly it was never adopted as a mainstream payment platform.

Mozilla shooting themselves in the foot again? Really, these people can't take a break. What's worse is that both Google and Mozilla are equally vile, so what browser am I supposed to use? In the end I guess I'll go with Brave.

A large part of corporate platform power is due to the ambiguity in decision making arising from the absence of clear and transparent processes or accountability regarding how the rules are applied. That's just a giant gateway for despotism.
It's unlikely that there's a corporate decision behind this. I wouldn't even call this a corporate platform. Let me copy-paste a comment from further below that deserves more attention: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18568302 > Here is what the creator actually said > >One of the community reviewers removed it from the store claiming it violated the ToS, which is BS. The ToS never mentions the word paywall once…
Corporate power arises through the capability alone, not necessarily its frequent execution.
I think that Mozilla is actually a great company to demonstrate how responsible platforms could operate. Past examples might be Pockets non cloud based recommendation engine or their encrypted user account setup.

Mozilla is, to some extend understandably, concerned with the image of Firefox and patrolling what Addons are available in the store is part of that. Apple does the very same thing.

Flattr set out do that, many years ago. They still exist. Brave is trying to address that. There's patreon, and many others. Have you tried them ?
i dont agree with the tracking that goes along with all of them. i shouldnt be recording my action to a bunch of unrelated companies just so i can give a few cents to a website.
So, Addons are mostly reviewed by volunteers. Sometimes people make mistakes. The best course of action is to try to reach out for the AMO team on IRC or their mailing list.
- Addons forum is at https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/add-ons

There is no need for FUD or conspiracy theories. We can just talk to people and find out what happened and maybe revert it if possible.
