Today I watched this excellent video on yet another open source horror story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d15DP5zqnYE. It led me to ponder how other ecosystems like Spotify, Youtube, Twitch, and others incentivize creators and create a path towards a sustainable lifestyle. Why isn't leading a massive project like FFMPEG as lucrative as being a successful Twitch streamer or Youtuber? I realize this isn't a novel idea, but could a GitHub or equivalent entity solve open source sustainability by providing revenue sharing based on metrics like dependent projects or total downloads? |
