I'm glad that you are lucky enough to never have had to choose between filling your gas tank or eating. It's sadly the state many people live in.

You're right, I'm fortunate enough to not have this experience. But not only both food and gas are much more than 1€, but also people in this situation are too focused on finding a way to make money to care about submitting merge requests

Plenty of teens in poorer countries actively devoting a lot of time to practicing programming. $1 is a lot for a PR.
