Dapre mwen konprann, Freecycle pèmèt moun yo fè plis bagay san komès, kidonk ou ta ka diskite ke li ta dwe ajoute nan anyè a - li ankouraje bon konpòtman san komès. Li pèmèt moun yo kapab pataje ak re-itilize bagay sa yo, epi pataje sa a ak re-itilize ant moun pa komès.. Men, kalite sa a fè m sonje Couchsurfing.com- Couchsurfing tou fè yon bon bagay san komès posib: moun yo kapab pataje espas yo (kanape, chanm rezèv, kèlkeswa sa.) san komès ak lòt moun, pou lòt moun gen yon kote gratis pou dòmi. Li ankouraje yon gwo sèvis san komès ant moun, se konsa mwen te kapab wè poukisa yon moun ta ka vle ajoute Couchsurfing nan anyè a. Sepandan, sèvis ke Couchsurfing bay se pa akomodasyon san komès pou moun, sèvis ke li bay se yon sit entènèt kote moun ka konekte youn ak lòt. Ak malerezman, sit entènèt sa a pa komès gratis. Okòmansman, yo mete anons sou sit entènèt yo epi yo kolekte done, Lè sa a, yo te kòmanse pouse "verifikasyon" sa a konplo fè lajan, epi kounye a, yo te fèmen moun soti nan pwòp kont yo si yo pa peye yon frè chak mwa pou jwenn aksè nan sit entènèt la. Kidonk, byenke Couchsurfing fè yon bon sèvis san komès posib ant moun, òganizasyon an li menm pa ofri yon sèvis san komès. Epi se sa ki anyè sa a san komès se tout sou sa òganizasyon sa yo ofri.

Jan mwen konprann, se kalite menm istwa a ak Freecycle- yo pèmèt moun yo kapab ofri bagay ki pa gen komès youn ak lòt, men sèvis la yo bay (yon sit entènèt ki konekte moun sa yo) se pa aktyèlman komès-gratis paske li montre ou anons epi kolekte done ou yo.

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

Si yo vle bay yon platfòm komès-gratis, Lè sa a, yo ta dwe konte sou don, men se pa sou ou gade anons yo.

Anplis de sa, yo gen kèk trackers seryezman lonbraj: https://www.directory.trade-free.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Pasted-5.png

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.

Malgre ke li kapab amelyore, freecycle se yon pyonye ekselan nan yon mond san komès epi yo ta dwe omwen rekonèt kòm yon opsyon.

Mwen pa ta ajoute yo nan anyè a, paske yo plen anons, kolekte done atravè google-analytics ak ankouraje sit yo sou rezo ki baze sou komès tankou twitter ak facebook. Se konsa, yo vle atansyon ou ak done. Si ou vle bay yon rezo kote moun ka bay ak jwenn bagay gratis, tanpri jis fè sa. Pa kolekte done, pa mete anons oswa ankouraje sèvis ki baze sou komès. Mwen konnen li ta ka difisil pou kenbe sit entènèt la, men Lè sa a, konte sou donasyon sèlman - sinon ou se sou yon pant glise epi pi bonè oswa pita moun ap oblije verifye kont yo oswa peye yon ti kantite lajan pou itilize sit entènèt ou a tankou nan ka a nan couchsurfing...
