    Yes, I use open-source projects, and as part of that, I either find bugs or want features. I don't think an agent should be recreating or forking React, for example, just for me - that's not realistic.

      Makes sense. Sounds like you contribute in the sense of a feedback button or building things that are unique to you

    Why don't you contribute? Are you comfortable just taking from society?

      Since an overwhelming number of open-source projects I use these days have some effort to monetize as part of them. I no don't feel it's free.

      But outside of that, I feel I contribute in other ways and lack[ed] the skills to contribute to the projects.

    If I was independently wealthy, with decent chunks of free time, I absolutely would.

    Problem is, I live in a capitalistic hellhole that demands I be wildly profitable to someone else, least I suffer from starvation, destitution, homelessness, or even death.
