> Personally I have stopped contributing to open source due to consumer expectations around free work. My passion projects are now all private and they are all mine or employers who gain from my learnings by paying me. If that's a loss to society, well society can figure out the cost-benefit analysis and get back to me with a better proposal.
This is a very rational decision. In contrast, I think it is irrational when people keep contributing to OSS while at the same time nurturing resentment towards people who feel entitled to their help, support, or whatever else.
