Wow they sound like they came straight out of Twitter. Though one reason why I use FOSS and barely donate is because our currency isn't that powerful. I see it in the way people say that self-hosted is cheap (probably from Europe or America) but it's actually crazy expensive for me (Philippines). Our average monthly income is around 400$. Even if I were to donate a substantial part of it, anyone in the first world would barely gain anything and I would have lots to lose. Unless if they're from another developing country.

Even if you barely donate, you're donating more than most users. Everyone should help in whatever capacity they can and there isn't any shame in not being able to contribute as much as others. I'd love to see how many donations some of the FOSS purists here make haha. I bet a lot of the real toxic FOSS bros don't contribute anything.
