There are still a whole lot of Bitcoiners who seem to confuse and conflate the FOSS ethos with the noble goals of capitalists to build profitable businesses.
We are owed nothing.

Agreed there is a weird commie vibe when you try to build a bitcoin company sometimes lol
Then you go FOSS and get $7 in donations for hundreds of hours of work 🤷
Exactly that. WTF?
Deflation is a drag. Especially noticeable when builders are building into an economy propped up by over 100 years of fiat-enabled overcapacity.
Unpopular opinion: most of today’s “technology” is unnecessary for human civilization and cooperation.

Just zapped you 21 sats. Without checking your proof of work. Liked your short comment. When sufficient people do you will have more zaps. It’s just difficult to earn in the bitcoin space because most bitcoiners live like a monk to have more bitcoin…
Great point.
Open source and positive sats-flow is the holy grail, greatly improving FOSS product monetization is one of my main goals with zap.store

People often have the misconception that the Free in FOSS is a reference to money, it's not. Anyone deeper in the FOSS ethos has heard the saying "free as in freedom". FOSS companies are absolutely within their right to charge for there services, the business model is simply different to proprietary models. It requires some creativity.
