    The bigger problem to me is that I have seen an untold number of open source developers that despise all manner of capitalism in the first place, so you can’t even pay them to work on things. It’s like they just want everyone to live under a rock in the woods and all be poor together or something. That’s not going to progress society very much IMO.

        You must not be active in any chat systems that are frequented by FOSS developers then? I see it constantly across Matrix, IRC, XMPP and other places.

          Yes, there’s a few with some quirky opinions. All of them will take money in some way.
