    Open software are in the interest of people. People should fund these projects. But our funding model does not put emphasis on bringing the grass roots to open software, therefore we end up with neglishable funding.

      That would be nice, but unfortunately most people are more likely to fund streamers, podcasters, and youtubers than FOSS developers.

        There are FOSS projects that are better funded then some youtube channels (hiring multiple full time employees), but observing them i think you need a well thought out plan and possibly some experimentation.
