    I think the burden is that Tech companies are putting in hundred of bug reports, not putting in any work and then expecting their ‘high priority’ bugs to be fixed last week, for free.

    When it was the community benefiting the community, it was fine to labor for free.

      Yeah, but regular users do that too. The problem is no one is willing to pay, so it’s all for fun. When it’s stops being fun, people get burnt out.
