Free and open source software and content has never been more prolific, nor has it ever been so widespread and successful. It’s not going anywhere.

Your personal exposure to it, and what you may see and hear of it can fluctuate and vary, depending on where you’re looking who you’re listening to. It can also be affected by marketing pushes from for-profit companies. That doesn’t mean there’s any less of it or that it’s somehow dying.

There had never been a time when free and open source of software and content has been so prolific, successful, and popular. It will only get more so moving forward. And while there are certainly those who would work against it, I doubt there is much to fear about it going away.

There’s concern about it where the content has utility beyond art, such as academic research and raw datasets.

That’s not to day art isn’t useful, but much of what people value about it is originality.

Because high quality content needs income to continue existing, and you generally get that income via a subscription or the people making your content run out of money and go get jobs.

Edit: just look at what’s happened to journalism over the last 30y if you’re having a hard time understanding why paying journalists and other writers is important. Very few high quality outlets have survived, and they’re largely on life support if they’ve not been bought up to push some billionaire’s politics.

They/we are concerned about free works in general. I’m not sure where you got the idea people aren’t.
