How much time did you spend on this?

Would you have done without excepting any rewards, i.e. just for fun?

Context matters. In this case it was a challenge because of previous research and I would've done it just for fun and the experience. I'm lucky I can afford to do that. Doesn't mean I don't value compensation.

In other cases maybe yes, maybe no - for some nonprofit, maybe someone needs help? are they a business and can they afford to compensate this kind of work? maybe it is some prominent product? there is no simple answer
