The company is the heart of the software and it would not exist without the company most likely. True the execs get probably a larger share of any payments but it’s just the way the world works. It’s a piece of software produced by the company, not the developers.
Yes that is the sad reality of it, but I don’t think it justifies sending money to the company in the first place. They’re backed by VC and are already predisposed to screw you financially in the longrun. Why accelerate this with donations
Never understood why anyone would want to pay 100$ a year for discord, the paid version doesnt give you that much imo
To support the developers and pay for a product you use all the time? Same reason you pay for any software/game.
Lol. Read their EULA
I agree with you in principle for supporting developers directly through something like OpenCollective…
… but ask Mozilla how much their Firefox devs get for each financial donation.
