The only open-source product I use that might seem fun to contribute to is Home Assistant. All the other ones I use clearly have plans to monetize (n8n, Hermes, Linux, etc). So I'd just be giving free labor.

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.

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.
