Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

UX = user experience

So he should start working for free? Or just retire and not create an app that many people enjoy?

    Neither. I didn't say anything. But since you challenge me to say something, I'd say since he's very likely financially very secure, he could look for ways to monetize that do not mine user data.

    That's our bar here? That someone who has put in years and years of hard Dev effort, every day, built up a community, took risks, etc, should just be happy he has food on the table?

    Fuck that noise. I don't care if he's already s multi millionaire, he can charge whatever he wants, and we can choose to pay it or not. The man is running a business model here. He's not done weekend warrior FOSS hacker. He deserves to be paid for his efforts.

    Listen mate. The issue here isn't that people are saying that devs are starving. It's that people here are some how associating someone who is (ostensibly)comfortable in life with the Bourgeois. You are not a class traitor for working your ass off on a product that many of your fellow Proletariats enjoy. Quite the opposite in fact. The real Bourgeois are the people who own the very server farms the app lives on. The real Bourgeois are the owners of the land the server farms live on. They are the people who are so rich you forget they exist.
