I don't disagree with any of that, and I don't find it at all to be, generally, disagreeable, I don't think many would really disagree with that. I would maybe have some thoughts on the efficacy of different types of organizations, like, do we run this as a no-profit, or as a co-op that kind of absorbs multiple different open source projects into itself? I could see it working for sure, to the point where something like that has to exist I would think, but implementation details would make or break the motherfucker for sure. Also interesting would be how you figure out which projects to fund, compared to which you don't really give a shit about.
I was saying more, that I think the people who are disagreeing with you, are disagreeing from the perspective that everyone who makes demands of devs are entitled, especially when the devs are free. I don't really agree with that position necessarily, I was just trying to spell out that I think that's their position, more than that they necessarily disagree that open source should be, basically along your idea, better than it is. Better organized, more centralized, more easily funded, I don't think they're disagreeing with that, I just think they're more doing that kind of basic redditor shit where they want to argue who's at fault more, instead of recognizing the external circumstances which brought about the problem.
