You're reaching and you're constantly misrepresenting and replying to exaggerated interpretations of my views. Unpaid OSS maintainer work is nothing like startup work or a similar to the issues in antiwork. The boundaries are much easier and much more obviously necessary than in any other relationship because direct contact is not mandatory, and productive work is impossible without them. Also, even if impossible for one person, other co-maintainers can even help with those boundaries, and there are tools available for that. Of course there will be people unable to work healthily with OSS, but those people will burn out very quickly and they won't be able to be long-term maintainers, period. Also, keep in mind that a large part of OSS maintainers are paid by companies to work with OSS and they do it on company time. I'd likewise ask for a citation of some maintainer agreeing that watching Netflix on their free time is akin to "giving the middle finger" to users. That was one of the most toxic phrases related to OSS maintainer work I've ever seen on this website, and those views should not be spread as if they were acceptable. I stand by my opinion that the "work harder" vs "watch Netflix" is a completely fabricated dichotomy, and there is a very viable middle ground available (and necessary) for everyone.
