You've been asked elsewhere in the thread, but I'm gonna ask again here anyway.

Source?

Criminal matrix needed you to buy access for thousands of dollars, cool matrix is free and open to anyone. Technology isn't even the same.

For posterity, I see that another place this person has been asked for a source is https://lemmy.world/comment/13801385
