I was looking at Graphite Editor project and how the hell is 24k stars on GitHub translate to 600$ per month?

This is not the first open source project that I see with this problem.

Why the hell is no one supporting open source developers?

    Because the developers aren’t equivalent to OnlyFans models.
    OnlyFans models are for-profit business owners using OnlyFans as infrastructure, not employees or volunteers.

    So you’d have to compare their profits with for-profit business owners using opensource software as infrastructure.
    Examples of those are Red Hat, Canonical, Broadcom, Microsoft, Apple, etc.
