I'm going to play devil's advocate here.

Paying a contribution will not give me the feature I want or need from a project, most project explicitly say so. Paying for a LLM to create a PR or a fork that will contain that feature is often a lot easier and a pretty good guarantee I will get it.

I am not diving into the code quality or maintainability of such PR/forks which is a whole thing in itself.

    Is it a whole separate thing though? Maintainability of open source projects seems like the main concern for OP. Creating a fork that is impossible to maintain or merge is rot. The only people that benefit from it are you, temporarily, but mostly just Anthropic.

    I mainly just make my own projects or fork and add to existing stuff, I figure as long as it's MIT FOSS meh it kinda equals out.

    I also only spend about 30 a month for two services and run a local one.
