I was looking at Graphite Editor project and how the hell is 24k stars on GitHub translate to 600$ per month?

This is not the first open source project that I see with this problem.

Why the hell is no one supporting open source developers?

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers

Teachers say this because they need stupid students to identify themselves.

In any other context, there are indeed stupid questions which when asked will identify the asker as an idiot.

There are no stupid questions, only inquisitive idiots.

There's a huge amount of stupid questions. I know, because I ask them all the time.

You're comparing the top 0.001% of OF models with "a lot of opensource developers".
And the question gives off weird vibes, like "how come hard-working (male) devs make less than women just showing their tits?"

It's a constant question from right-wing men who don't understand how the world works.

[–] mech@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

Someone should ask those right-wing men when was the last time they donated to an open source project.
