open source maintainer here - I disagree that you get those "responsibility and emotions" only when you attach money.

You already get plenty of those by the sheer fact that you care about the craft you contribute to.

Nobody would have ever imagined it to work without "money", but it does and it will continue to work.

I'm sorry to break it for you, but it doesn't actually work.

And constant articles and talks from OSS maintainers about burnout is one of the proofs.

If you want to read more, there is a great book on this subject which I feel will help you get a more informed opinion on it: https://www.fordfoundation.org/about/library/reports-and-stu...

Initiatives like this are important to "show by example" - currently there are too many Open Source consumers and not enough contributors.

And also, work IS work - and it should be retributed.
