Your comment reminds me of the dating book “He’s just not that into you”: there’s no complex reason why your OSS contributions have’t made a penny. If you aren’t able to make money off them, it’s because they’re worth zero dollars. Making money starts with not giving away ones work for free. And I disagree that it’s the complainers that need to self-reflect.
