I think that is rather uncharitable, there is a pretty good mix of people here.

Yes, some are trying to sell themselves, which may be distasteful to you but people need to eat.

Others are activists, pushing their views.

Others here are just reading and occasionally commenting, like myself.

But there are also a lot of very passionate and smart people here who are pushing boundaries and limits with what they can do in terms of hardware and software.

and here we have the problem, defense. stop defending people “trying to eat”. we all are, and many of us are programmers. many of us are not here to have others buy our meal.
