In the past, people supported pundits who would sit in the monasteries/huts their whole life perfecting their knowledge of scriptures and their skills of explaining them to others (incl. picking the right verse when it's needed and commenting the way helpful to the seeker). Some times I feel like today, besides free software projects, meant to be ran on donations, there should be entire separate projects dedicated to writing really good (also taking usability, eloquence, ease of understanding and practical examples very seriously) documentation for programming languages and libraries.
