I prefer to focus on the technical shortcomings.

We could have people ask for software in a more convenient way.

Not making money could be an indication the software isn't useful, but what if it is? What can the collective do in that zone?

I imagine one could ask and pay for unwritten software then get a refund if it doesn't materialize before your deadline.

Why is discovery (of many creation) willingly handed over to a hand full of mega corps?? They seem to think I want to watch and read about Trump and Elon every day.

Promoting something because it is good is a great example of a good thing that shouldn't pay.
