It is hilarious to see a spam-based company like Sentry complaining about some of their marketing stunts being rejected. The founder feels attacked that people can see their intention.

Is it good that big companies want to contribute to FOSS while making it a big marketing stunt? Well, it is only better than not contributing but it is not good for the community and won't get them praises from the people that CREATE FOSS CODE. I got no dollars from Sentry but still have to see their low quality content on top of every google search.

Sorry, I think you might have them confused with another company, perhaps something that is related to email marketing?

Sentry is a crash reporting system, and their open source self-hosted version is both free and 100% compatible with their hosted/paid version.

They (so far) have been good stewards of open source and they deserve to be marketed a bit better than others in the space.

FD: happy sentry hosted user here.

We loved working with Sentry & they have been huge champions of thanks.dev & the OS community.
