I was looking at Graphite Editor project and how the hell is 24k stars on GitHub translate to 600$ per month?
This is not the first open source project that I see with this problem.
Why the hell is no one supporting open source developers?

You’re not comparing like for like. Those who get rich from onlyfans are the exception. The average onlyfans creator makes shockingly little.
Popular open source projects bring in a lot of money. The Blender foundation had €4 million in income in 2024.
Those who make it big and become successful earn orders of magnitude more than those who don’t. This is true for everything.
