There are more and more methods of getting funding for contributing to open source, for example https://opencollective.com/

All open source is not equal. Fetishizing "open source," without considering the use cases and who may profit from it, is not something I feel comfortable doing.
I'm not ragging on open source as a concept, just that this example particularly is a bad one for justifying its utility.
"Benefiting the world" sounds great except we're embedded in a capitalist system for which the net gain on utility from this action is negative -- the super-corporations capitalizing on my unpaid work will further contribute to the economic inequality that beleaguers everyone who works for a wage.
