Turned towards... something that sounds consistent with the values for which they're sacrificing?
Or is the theory about more of an "f-word these ingrates; I might as well get paid" reaction? Or towards a role that makes them feel important or appreciated?
Would this theory distinguish people doing open source mainly because it's technically interesting to them, from those who are in it more for the community, from those who are strongly motivated by principles?
- currency 2y ago"Turned" may be the wrong word. "Cozened" might be more correct. There may be no good way for an individual to identify someone who is being paid to take over their project from someone with a genuine interest.
