Me vaka au kila, Freecycle e vakatara na tamata me ra cakava e levu cake na ka ni veivoli-galala, o koya gona o na rawa ni veiletitaka ni dodonu me vakacurumi ki na dairekita- e vakatorocaketaka na itovo vinaka, veivoli-galala. E rawa kina vei ira na tamata me ra wasea ka vakayagataka tale na veika, kei na wasei oqo kei na vakayagataki tale ena kedrau maliwa na tamata e sega ni veivolitaki .. Ia na mataqali oqo e vakananuma vei au na Couchsurfing.com- Couchsurfing talega e cakava e dua na ka vinaka ni veivoli-galala rawa: tamata era rawa ni wasea na nodra vanua (idabedabe, rumu ni moce vakavo, cava ga.) veivoli-galala kei ira na tani, me rawa kina vei ira tale eso e dua na vanua galala me ra moce kina. E vakatorocaketaka e dua na veiqaravi levu ni veivoli-galala ena maliwa ni tamata, me rawa kina vei au meu raica na vuna e dua ena vinakata kina me vakuria na Couchsurfing ki na dairekita. Ia, na veiqaravi e vakarautaka na Couchsurfing e sega ni veivoli-galala ni itikotiko me baleta na tamata, na veiqaravi e vakarautaka e dua na itukutuku e rawa ni ra veitaratara kina na tamata vata kei ira tale eso. Ka ka ni rarawa, na itukutuku oqori e sega ni veivoli-galala. Ena imatai ni gauna, era biuta na ads ena nodra itukutuku ka kumuna na itukutuku, oti era sa qai tekivu me ra tosoya na “vakadeitaki” oqo na ituvatuva ni ilavo-cakava, ka sa, era sa lokataki ira na tamata mai na nodra dui akaude kevaka era sega ni sauma e dua na isau ni veivula me ra rawata kina na itukutuku. O koya gona e dina ga ni Couchsurfing e cakava e dua na veiqaravi vinaka ni veivoli-galala e rawa ena maliwa ni tamata, na isoqosoqo vakataki koya e sega ni solia e dua na veiqaravi ni veivoli-galala. Ka sai koya oqori na ka e baleta na dairekita ni veivoli-galala oqo- na veika era solia na veisoqosoqo oqo.

Me vaka au kila, e mataqali italanoa vata ga kei na Freecycle- era vakatara na tamata me rawa ni ra solia na veika ni veivoli-galala vei ira yadua, Ia na veiqaravi era vakarautaka (e dua na itukutuku e semati ira na tamata oqo) e sega ni dina ni veivoli-galala baleta ni vakaraitaka vei iko na ads ka kumuna na nomu itukutuku.

Youtube posts ads next to videos and collects people’s data. One can see that as still ok since “all websites collect data” and that many websites post ads to maybe “support” themselves. However this does not make them trade-free. You have to trade your attention and data in order to access Youtube. There is no other way. Youtube won’t let you use their service without these trades. Freecycle is the same in the sense that no one can disable their ads or stop them from collecting people’s data. Thus, you HAVE to trade your attention and data to Freecycle. There is no other way that you can use their service. So, it makes this service NOT trade-free. Regardless of why they have ads on their website or collect data, for me it is not trade-free.

But I consider this anything but trade-free: https://www.directory.trade-free.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Pasted-4.jpg – I understand if they lack funding, but that does not mean to put ads into their website if they want to provide a genuine platform for people to share stuff. It’s like duckduckgo saying that it’s trade-free. Yes they do not collect your data, but they also put some ads in their search: https://www.directory.trade-free.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Pasted-4.png

Kevaka era vinakata me ra vakarautaka e dua na ituvatuva ni veivoli-galala, sa dodonu me ra vakararavi ki na cau, ia e sega vei iko mo sarava na nodra ads.

Ka ena dela ni ka oqori era sa tu kina eso na dauvakadidike vakadomobula:

Freecycle is a pioneer in enabling people to gift to each other. Almost all websites collect our data and it would be best if they didn’t but that is no reason to completely reject them as a trade-free network. Adds are one of the only forms people can get funding for providing services at no cost, it is best if we can avoid them but they aren’t a good enough reason to reject a TFnetwork.

Dina ga ni rawa ni vakavinakataki, freecycle e dua na painia uasivi ni dua na vuravura galala ni veivoli ka dodonu me lailai duadua na kena ciqomi me vaka e dua na digidigi.

Au na sega ni vakacurumi ira ki na dairekita, baleta ni ra sa sinai tu ena ads, kumuna na itukutuku ena google-vakadidike ka vakatorocaketaka na nodra vanua ena rede ni veivoli-yavutaki me vaka na twitter kei na facebook. Era vinakata gona na nomu kauai kei na itukutuku. Kevaka o vinakata mo vakarautaka e dua na rede e rawa ni ra solia kina na tamata ka rawata na veika me baleta na galala, yalovinaka . cakava ga oqori. Kakua ni kumuna na itukutuku, kakua ni biuta na ads se vakatorocaketaka na veiqaravi yavutaki ena veivoli. Au kila ni na rawa ni veivakacalai me maroroi na itukutuku, Ia qai vakararavi ga ki na cau – ke sega o sa tiko ena dua na vanua kaukauwa ka sega ni dede se muri na tamata ena dodonu me ra vakadeitaka na nodra akaude se sauma e dua na ilavo lailai me baleta na vakayagataki ni nomu itukutuku me vaka ena kisi ni couchsurfing...
