People who offer their labor as shareware will tend towards making 0 dollars. That's just the reality of it, if people don't have to pay, they won't. If you want to make money, you should...charge people money.

That’s not true at all. Check out id software. They made gobs of money through shareware.

And of course there’s lots of open source developers who are excellent and donate their time with only expecting $0.
