For one thing, when you're paid, you don't really get to choose what you work on, unlike an unpaid volunteer. There are feature lists to check off, deadlines to hit, and you work on what needs to be done, which isn't even always what you're good at. In contrast, the volunteer can choose to spend as much time as they want digging into whatever topic they want.
The results differ immensely, and neither approach are perfect.

- seoulmetro 3y agoI don't think people are seeking to be housed (only) and working on passion projects. More people have passion in a comfortable lifestyle.
