They are doing work, they're advocating for what they believe in. Consumers of FOSS deserve to have a voice too.

  It's easy to advocate for what you believe in by posting comments on HN. It's harder to advocate for what you believe in by taking a low-paying job in a FOSS company, which they presumably didn't do.

    If you're going to blame the consumer, might as well blame the person that chose to easily be exploited too.

    I have a low paying job at a FOSS company. Does this mean I am allowed to cast the first stone?

  If you see complaining on forums and maintaining software as contributing the same kind of value, then oh boy do I have an enterprise-grade comment thread to sell you.

    We'll have an LLM process the complains as proof of complaint and use that as the basis for our new cryptocurrency called CurmudgeonCoin and have an ICO. We'll make atto dollars!

  I think the op was suggesting the contribute to FOSS rather than shaming people who have contributed greatly for not contributing more.
