1. it comes from VCs philanthropy, who cares?

2. it wouldn't happen so who cares?

3. no, but models will be better, it'll be cheaper to do

It's not a snark. The scale of VC philanthropy is unprecedented and it fuels itself. All of it will eventually, one way or another, become open. Long story short – there is nothing to complain about.

It's not philanthropy if you do it expecting a payout.
