Extremely true and even the folks who are really popular have a hard time.
What about all the rest?
If one compares that to the enterprise world or banks, paying hundreds of thousands and millions of employees all the time and getting loans approved as it was an infinite money printer is quite mad.
As if all these companies with their employees do more useful stuff than open source folks.
Capitalists print money as if there is no money, but not for open source :/ ...sucks!
