You might not like my response but I will say it because you might not see how it looks like from the other angle or you know it and that’s the goal! 
Derek, you are as simp king on here disagree with the any criticism and trying to please everyone and everything for your future own benefits   to build around nostr plebs or build yourself as another “nostr guru”. I never seen any takes from you that you criticized or took the other sides! 

About the developers how they will eat. It’s very simple to understand the fact that in open source environment most likely you will contribute for free or someone will donate. Developers who have to feed their families should figure out how to monetize their products or work in other fields to make $ if they can’t do it in bitcoin or on nostr! Coming on nostr and simping because there are few VCs and few none profits giving away billionaire money is the most cringe way to do!
