"There has been some talk about a few projects that are making a few
thousand dollars per month on Patreon, but the maintainer of a key
JavaScript library had a different perspective. They have spent half
their adult life making things for free on the internet, “I’m not
excited to be giving away t-shirts on Patreon”. Charity simply isn’t
scalable to solving the 80% problem, Villa said."

Yet another area of global importance where a Universal Basic Income
would really help.

Cheers,
