I don't like the comment "this is why people say the open source ecosystem sucks" because a bankruptcy of a company has nothing to do with the concept of open source.

If you read through some of my other stuff, I mostly document controversy in the open source community. OSS developers being taken advantage of and loosing is just the norm, the only thing unique here is that the donation platform itself was doing that instead of the users

I didn't and it doesn't matter because you wrote it under this article and so it's related to it. I'm not saying that it's not true, but it can't be related to this fact.
