On an individual level allocation may seem a bit lopsided but, in aggregate, useful and popular projects will receive more funding.

Commercial projects can either not claim their funds (which will be reallocated), or elect to pass their funds through to their dependencies.

You also always have the option to explicitly list your dependencies.

In aggregate the stripe and react dependencies in the example on the page might receive a pretty huge chunk and I'm not sure the stripe api should be funded by donations.

Honestly, it doesn't seem that hard to add blacklists, even category based ones.

If stripe doesn’t want to participate (likely) their funds are reallocated. They also have the option to pass on funds to their dependencies

So users of Stripe SDK ends up donating to Stripe SDK that reallocates those funds to the dependencies that makes the Stripe SDK possible to build, rather than Stripe donating money directly to those dependencies that makes it possible for them to build their SDK?

I'd rather fund libraries that don't have huge companies behind them, and those companies should donate themselves to the dependencies they use, so I can spend my money on donating to libraries I depend on directly.
