It's also important to fund the small independent projects and maintainers, as they are often struggling with shoestring budgets and often have to abandon their projects from lack of means, or have their projects reimplemented by maintainers who are riding the Pareto principle (where more maintenance, usage, recognition, audience, money, will beget even more maintenance, usage, recognition, audience, money, leaving behind a long tail inside a bloody ocean, where whales and sharks incidentally cannibalise the smaller fish). $10/month could double the budget of a small-time independent maintainer, which help prevents small fish maintainers abandoning their projects, which help prevents the projects getting reimplemented with their resources consolidated by a $10,000/month Pareto maintainer, backed by even bigger entities. Abandoned projects aren't just at risk of Pareto takeovers, but also of transfers to malicious contributors (where a billion installs a month project, or a specifically targeted project, has i
