> Unfortunately, this is ultimately the problem with free software. Either you publish with zero support, and users end up using your software badly (via poor blog posts telling them what to do) or they don't use it at all; You can have it on a website where users can talk to other users. And if you like, you can chime in. Say some code sharing platform. My experience is that people will help each other out usefully. You can even nudge them in this direction. > How do you solve the social problem of a large majority who feel entitled to everything for free? You don't. Why would you? You don't need to react to what you judge being an entitlement. You can misjudge though. I've had reactions when contributing bug reports that I felt other person thought of me as being entitled, after I've spent considerable time identifying the root issue and suggesting a code change. I've also thought of someone being entitled initially, when in the end the person ended up contributing useful service to other users of my program.
