It’s becoming evident that open-source is the only thing that can cure Enshittification. Every proprietary application will become enshittified, it’s just a matter of when.

Many open source projects fail to find sustainable funding. If a cure is not financially viable it is not much different than the cure not existing.

		So, you're not wrong. People that work for money will want money, and ultimately can be bought. People that work for love produce the best they can with limited resources, and are often broke. I don't think we've found a way to bridge the gap. I've come to generally rely on work people do for love, and I contribute to them, but it's clearly not sustainable unless they have another source of income. Anyone who solves this will produce immense value.
