Doesn't npm have this already? I've definitely gotten requests for donations and various political messages when installing dependencies.
I guess this highly depends on package maintainers, Node already provides
fundinginpackage.jsonfor much less invasive funding requests (and that can also be disabled) and you might also block executing the scripts during package instalation which are sometimes used for advertisement. I think this was a lot worse in days NPM didn't supportfunding, especially for projects depending on a huge number of dependencies. But I'm not that old Node/JS dev to tell how things were back then in reality.Ew, I'll pass on node then.
That's the reason you pass on node? Compared to all the others?
It's the final straw.
