Entitlement in both crypto and open source communities is so disheartening. People who don’t contribute anything productive feel entitled to airdrops or support/feature requests and become upset or aggressive.

Sigh. Be better 😔

uniswap's retroactive airdrop was the worst thing to ever happen to this space. With open source I think developers shouldn't shy away from charging for additional features. Developer's unfortunately barely capture any of the value that they deliver to the world.

Yeah, a friend told me he made six figures a few years back from airdrops alone and… that sounded so bizarre to me. I understand it’s essentially an engagement tactic to drive up usage stats and incentivize usage, and I’m not entirely against the idea of airdrops, but just the intrinsic entitlement is weird.
