I get the feeling that software community created bunch of "wanapreneurs" whose ultimate goal was to struck some gold mine easy way by making OSS.
This massive OSS devs burnout seems like reality hitting hard those who thought "I am going to write this piece of software and someone will shower me with money". Reality being companies simply not paying, getting others to contribute to your idea is much more work than expected, amount of entitled users increasing as popularity of software piece grows.
I believe these "wanapreneurs" are ones that mostly shout out that economics of open source should change.
In the end I totally agree that "the economics of open source are exactly what they should be, pretty piss poor.". Just that I have a bit less charitable view of the "social order around open source".
