Earlier quoted context omitted.

I built businesses not opensource projects. Though many of my projects are completely free for the users. Latest being this one already past 1000+ active users https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.macrocodex... If you don't listen to your passionate users, i doubt you'll ever grow. Someone being rude/entitled doesn't matter to me, I only care about if what they are saying actually makes any sense

Don't take it personally but the people here are talking about open source projects and unpaid work in their free spare time. There is zero value you could share in this thread from your experiences on developing closed source business products because it completely misses the topic of volunteer work.

Ehm... no? It's not zero value? He's making a general point about "regardless of how something is presented to you, at the end of the day you have to look at the actual information, and if there is some truth in it, then it would be illogical to dismiss it".

I get anxiety publishing open source because of things like this.

I will never understand people like GitHub user “shushtain” in the linked issue. So obviously the guy is behaving like an entitled jerk, but it’s also surely counter-productive (volunteer maintainers are unlikely to respond well to plain rudeness)? Unless the goal isn’t a productive outcome, but just to be mean?

I've built many successful services by listening to entitled users so much that I used to talk with such entitled users all day. They are just passionate and most of the times annoyed because something as simple is not being done right.
