Author admits they don't ask for donations and then use the lack of donation as evidence for their arguments. Amazing logic there.

Also whatever the fuck this is

By the way, next time you see a request for donations at any project, think about the reasoning in the head of the product owner.

Some of us ask for donations because we know people don't actually think about it. Fuck you for implying we're closer to being sellouts than you are.

This blog gives me right-libertarian vibes with its promotion of "open - core" shite and how focused it is on money.
