I too dislike the idea of having to pay to contribute to a discussion about Wikimedia Commons.  I also see some irony in advice from a platform that being generous can be described as having lost its way many years ago, yes we can learn from the mistakes of others. As others have said collectively we are capable of amazing things, we are doing something special as we look forward we mustn't lose sight what our purpose is and our goals are.  

Dont forget https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data will have impact so much of what is spoken about wont be relevant

I don't understand the outsourcing of comments nor the promotion from
the Wikimedia Foundation of services as Facebook.
