> So if you never want megacorps or anyone who runs a business to ever use your code, choose AGPL.

Plenty of businesses run AGPL software (e.g. Grafana, Mastodon or Mattermost). Fewer run AGPL software for external paying customers.

As a developer, I care about the freedom of my users; I don’t much care about the paranoia of a megacorp who wants to restrict the freedom of its customers.


but you don't care enough to let your users choose to pay some other business to host it for them
The AGPL allows that.
