The open source funding experiment @feross ran was valuable, and I appreciate the risk he took to try it.
The creation of value and the capture of value are not the same. I support value creators in their efforts to find new mechanisms to receive a share of the rewards.https://twitter.com/feross/status/1166924812129722368 …

I’m baffled by the outrage from open source consumers over a (removable) ad taking a few seconds of their attention, when the problem of maintainers not getting paid is a systemic crisis. Where’s that energy for the crisis of open source? This is why we can’t have nice things.

Replying to @arcalinea
It was fascinating to read the comments in @feross's issue queue. Not just free riders, but quite a few people who seem to think they're _entitled_ to free ride, and any attempt to make otherwise is at best a distraction, at worst an outrage.
