Laravel, Every day a more Freemium or Paid framework

▶

Hello, I wanted to share my opinion here, that Arabic is becoming a premium product, but looking at it from a bad perspective, that is, paid, what I mean. Before I begin, I want to clarify that this is purely my opinion, speculation, because I know that there are people who, so to speak, don't like me to comment on these things, but again, it's simply my opinion, and I believe that this medium is precisely what it is for, so that one can share their opinions in an educated manner, and you can perfectly well leave it in the comments section, and you can completely agree or disagree, or have a similar or different opinion, which is me, and you can share it without any problem. I simply want to give my opinion on what I consider to be an issue.

Laravel, is a Premium framework?

I am concerned about what was mentioned at the beginning, that I feel that Laravel is slowly becoming a service, so to speak, Premium, that is, paid. This is something that I am slowly seeing in the latest versions, that is to say, look, now in 12 they are already placing it in your face directly, they are placing it here as soon as you create a project regardless of the Star kck that you choose, whether it is Livewire inertia or directly Laravel base, that is to say without any addition Laravel Cloud, already here they are already promoting a paid service to you since that is a promotion, look, as if to say, as soon as you create a project that you are going to start developing, they already place it on a completely clean page, a button completely centered, a button that is completely the color contrasts completely with the rest of the page, that is to say, everything is gray or better said, everything is black and the button is whitish or a soft gray, so obviously they are placing it there to stand out and it is, so to speak, an indirect promotion, obviously I know how the world works, I am not going to talk about that, no, everything has to be free and so on because it would also be hypocritical of me because I also have paid material.

Laravel, like Ubuntu

It seems to me that it is being positioned a bit like Ubuntu, that when you install Ubuntu there is already a lot of proprietary software. So it is, as if to say, breaking a little bit the meaning of what free software would be, so this is a bit like this, now you can see that they are placing a paid service for you, which is Laravel Cloud, and now here it obviously has paid services because it is, as if to say, so that you can place your application in the cloud, it is a service that the Laravel people offer you.

When creating a new project, Payment service

When creating a project here when you select at least to date this will surely change but when you select either Livewire or Inertia they immediately ask you if you want the Native authentication system or one called workos that suddenly appeared out of nowhere at least as if to say as a preferred option here and guess what it is a paid service of which Laravel says that it does not have that you do not have well that it has or and I mention this because precisely on the Laravel Daily channel which is in English you can search for it on YouTube I was precisely commenting a little on this and he placed a publication that you are not receiving money so why the hell are you putting it there it is a bit like I say sometimes that I do not understand where Laravel is going.

Livewire Flux, please log in or you won't see the official documentation.

In Livewire it is also using by default what is flux which is a component-based system and guess what, it also has some paid components, so as I tell you, you are already creating a project sometimes I feel like duolingo that says it is a free application and as soon as you get in, everywhere they are bombarding you with that I pay, pay, pay, pay, so that sounds a lot to me and another thing that I do not like at all about this that I criticize enormously and I do not understand why and here you can see it already talking, I mean, but everything is about the same thing, even if it is that as soon as you start, it wants you to authenticate so that you can see a large part of the documentation…
