remove author's job search ad to conform with the new NPM policy

[capaj]

While I don't really agree with the new NPM policy as reported here: https://www.zdnet.com/article/npm-bans-terminal-ads/
I do think it could give grounds for removal/ban of this package. If this were to happen, we'd get another left-pad debacle.
So maybe let's remove this just to be on the safe side with NPM shall we?

If it becomes a left-pad debacle, they deserve it. Policies should feature thoughtful human moderation.

If NPM will ban the postinstall message, it will be moved to browsers console. If NPM will ban core-js - it will cause problems for millions of users. I warned about it.

Acting in such a way will get you labeled a bully, which is a label that fits your behavior very well.

[dpikt]

So to clarify @zloirock - big packages don't need to follow NPM policy because they're "too big to fail"? And you would rather play a game of chicken, with thousands of people's work on the line, than delete your job posting?

[TrejGun]

The problem is NPM are too greedy, they are earning money by hosting private packages but not letting people earn money on their platform as well. There is no button for donation, no subscription and no othey way to pay to author, so people have to use Open Collective and advertise in postinstall message to get some profit. This is the real problem you have to solve rather than blaim @zloirock for donationware.

While I respect you for maintaining this package, this sort of behavior will get you burned by the community.

When you start injecting developers' apps with ads, your library WILL get forked.

@ryanelian "You'd better act servile or someone else will take on your massive work that you do for free!!!"

[transiient]

Wow, @zloirock, you act so entitled, it's shocking. No one who uses your packages owes you anything. If people wanted to donate to you for your work, it's their choice. You released free, open-source software, for the public to use without any financial obligation to you.

[krainboltgreene]

Christ @sam-cross, what a terrible opinion.

[transiient]

@krainboltgreene it's not an opinion, it's a fact. The package uses the MIT license which specifically grants the right to use the code "free of charge".

[TrejGun]

@sam-cross you can use this software as is on use another one.... nobody owes you anything (c)

[transiient]

@TrejGun that's what I'm saying. I know I'm not owed anything - nobody on either side is owed anything. core-js is being offered as a FREE (to use) product. Anybody can use it. Some of my project dependencies probably rely on core-js, and for that reason I'm thankful that the developer has put so much of his time and energy into creating it. That doesn't mean I have to pay him for the time he spent creating a free software product.

So it seems the solution is to remove the offending code, right? Or are millions of users losing functionality not your issue?

[joshmanders]

@sam-cross if you don't like what the author and maintainer of this package puts into it, you have expressed permission per the license to fork it and maintain it yourself. Stop being an entitled brat.

[transiient]

@joshmanders oh stop it. I know that.

Good luck getting a “good job” with an attitude like that.

If I recall correctly, @zloirock has expressed in the past that he's received many good job offers, but is looking for a company highly dependent on core-js so that he can maintain it for them.

Thanks for the PR. Seems it's not require, see @isaacs clarification.
