"Open source is flawed because without revenue it could end up behind a paywall" What nonsense is that ? How can open source software end up behind a paywall ? This is not a flaw of open source software at all

If you are releasing the code for free and as open source in hopes that it would be useful, dont do it expecting payment. You wont get it.

It's $57/mo because the market doesn't value it. In other words, the software just doesn't matter

There are open source organizations that help these people. Ask your company on how they pay it back if using open source.

“Open source is flawed because the free nature of it allows for extreme fast innovation, but, that innovation could potentially be behind a paywall.” This sentence is poorly structured, and really does not make sense. Do better.

Software is a tough business, we used to sell proprietary software, employed people, paid benefits, and too many companies ripped us off so we had to let everyone go and we lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'd say writing open-source software may help you get a high paying job!

But isn’t that what licenses are for? GPL you’re software and it’ll stay free.

Open source isn’t about making money. You choose the copyright model accordingly based on your needs or wants.

What a way of overselling a javascript library, want "pivotal software that could destroy infrastructure if missing" look at every html and javascript engine, Web server etc. But I guess sharing a spooky story to paint open source as a failure gets more clicks, oh hey some closed source products fail in monetizing guess closed source is flawed huehuehue.

This is a flaw of capitalism, not of open sourcing.
