Glyph@luis_in_brief @grimalkina I think the love for the "gift economy" model and language is that it spun the subtlety of the bidirectionality of the relationship, where the gift-giver receives some kind of "status" or "honor" but it sort of gave up after vaguely gesturing that some maintainers eventually got good jobs. so yeah it _is_ functionally unidirectional but it is mischaracterized as an equitable exchange
