There emphatically is not a worse motivation that being willing to do anything for money. Do something to ensure there is a little less tragedy in the commons. Please.

Sorry, this is off-topic but surely hatred is much worse a motivation than anything.

Honestly, I'm not advocating money as a good motivator. I go to work and I buy things and I'm happy with capitalism but really, I just spent the last few months working on something I like with absolutely no money in it (and it's GPLed). Money is just there so I can get by and enjoy the really fun things. Just realised how much of a hippy I must sound, but it's true.

If you are motivated by hate and have money, you can pay people who are motivated by money to do your hating for you.
