I struggle to pay bills like every normie. If I become a “contributor” I won’t have to worry about bills?
Gosh darn I think I’ll do my best to convince the right people that I deserve funding. Lots of very important work to do of course.

most are volunteers
the few that receive grants are being paid below market rate, financially would be better for them if they worked in the private sector instead
See … we need NGU so that more people can accept below market compensation.
"Interesting perspective! While NGU has its merits, let’s also consider the value of fair compensation for everyone. A thriving workforce benefits us all! 💼✨ #ValuePeople"
Personally I do not believe normal people do things for free.
There is a price of time that is paid with compensation, or an ideological karma such as family love or adherence to spiritual practice.
When people do things for compensation I am not able to understand their motive without seeking the motive of the one who paid their compensation.
the reason i donate my time to opensats is because i believe a strong robust open source ecosystem is a massive benefit to my family
Yes.. When you invest in open source, you’re investing in freedom, for you and the next generation.
People are willing to trust you Sir… You have built an image that I hope does not weigh on your soul too heavily.
May God provide the wisdom and peace required for your responsibility.

Below market rate in fiat terms for now,
The upside is unknown.
The social status amongst devs is also something that you have to put great value on.
This is also a resume builder for your market rate elsewhere.
Overall there's a clear benefit that can be tremendous.
