What if I paid for all my free software? - eviltoast
I've always felt guilty by taking for granted the rare breed of virtuous humans that provide free excellent software without relying on advertising. Let's change that and pay, how much would I “lose” anyway?

    It’s quite sad to see reasonably popular apps with virtually no funding. I feel like highlighting the case of rssguard, probably one of the most popular apps in its category, with patreon, liberapay, and offering to prioritize bugs and suggestions from donors… barely 5€ per month.

    Oh, I almost forgot, in these topics there should be a mandatory mention of core-js case.

      The article does indirectly mention core-js within source “31. b. Explain xkcd: 2347: Dependency.”
      But yeah, the status-quo is quite sad indeed.
