This goes against Daniel Pink's analysis, in his book Drive, of why people contribute to open source software.
They contribute to be a part of something, for the actual process, to up their skills, etc.
Though, this is perhaps the very reason open source issues go unfixed. I'm curious to see if this works.
- themanmaran 6y ago> I'm curious to see if this works Same here! And I can see an inverse effect as well. People willing to work for free on a project, who aren't as willing to work for $50. But I think often times the bounties will go to the people who are already maintaining the project. Who likely would have resolved the issue anyways. And rather than a ton of people commenting "same" on an open issue. They could chip in a couple dollars and support the developers.
