I like open source because I can work on anything I want, and other interested parties can join. I also work for money, and in that case, I don’t get to work on whatever I want to. Everyone's different. Some people paint as a hobby. Some people are full-time artists and want to be full-time artists so they get paid and make money doing what they want basically. Even full-time artists have got to deal with gallery owners, other artists in exhibitions, marketing publications, buyers, patrons and grant money. Somehow the way that open source works where it's never just what you want because you got a whole lot of ideas, inspiration, requests from other people so I don't think the traditional models of patronage or sponsorship are going to work for all cases. And some people like yourself they're not going to be relevant at all because you just like to work on what you want as a hobby and don't care if you get paid for it and that's perfectly fine but there's plenty of other people who will be choosing to be full-time professional creators and I think that's wonderful and I just don't think there's the right options for them to monetize that at this time.
