  3. Watching someone explain to a FOSS developer that they've never donated to their project "because it's FOSS" and that, unless the developer implements features X, Y, and Z *immediately*, they will continue not to donate in the future.

    Yeah, really convincing.

    And this is part of why we can't always have nice things.

      Not everyone can donate.

      Not everyone can donate to every project.

      Some developers do not want (or want, but cannot receive) donations.

      Donations (as opposed to support contracts, or specific agreements) are not conditional; a donation does not guarantee a feature implementation unless specifically agreed.

      But honestly, the entitlement of some people...
