    The only “nice indie software” is Free Software. Everything else is looking to abuse and exploit you as soon as you let your guard down, or will be eventually when it sells out to vulture capitalists.

        people want to be paid for their work

        There’s multiple flavors of this, unfortunately.

        Love to contribute money to a project I support.

        Hate to have my favorite software suite acquired by a Big Tech company that pays some oversees software sweatshop to shove pop-ups in my face trying to sell me glitter icons.
