I think it's important once in a blue moon to have these sorts of "What the fuck is actually wrong with you? We're volunteers" public shamings of people who actually act this disgustingly entitled to other people's work.
uBlock Origin developers and volunteers are doing an incredible job to make the Internet a better place for all of us. They deserved all of our dearest respect.
Even if they did take donations, that doesn't make anyone entitled to push them to do something. Donations is a gift, you can't expect anything in return. Keep this in mind when you are giving to other FOSS projects, or artists or streamers, etc
No one in the US contributes to uBO? Damn
This is a reminder to keep it civil. Everyone is pretty chill as of writing this but if things get out of hand I will lock this post.
