This is off topic and interesting. Because the HN I read, ""how to make money with tech" forum where the non-profits rank fairly low in the hierarchy" was only between 2008 to ~2012. Most of the time how to make money wasn't even a thing from 2014 onwards. Broadly speaking It wasn't until recent two to three years did it came back. As a matter of fact most of HN at some point hated companies that makes profits and not giving back. HN's pendulum swings back and forth. I generally dont think critics are about dev or FOSS at all. But this reminded me I need to be careful with critics as it could be dispiriting. At least my view it is just lack of recourses or funding, the hardest part in FOSS. But any discussion on the topic will obviously turned into Google funding Mozilla type of argument. Which then turns into philosophy and political battle.
