 EASIER SAID THAN DONE BUT I DIRECTIONALLY AGREE. 
 People can always donate directly to who they want to support. 

Never understood the OpenSats hate aka “constructive criticism”

Damned if you and damned if you don’t 
 I’m not the one asking for open sats donations.

Matt regularly asks for donations so I’m giving my feedback on what would make me feel comfortable doing that. I donate to individual projects that support my values where possible. It is undeniable that there are economies of scale. The best case scenario is to have principled open source devs and advocates who don’t have vested business interests in the projects in question. Bonus points for radical transparency (meeting minutes, reports etc).
