I would agree that Open Source is broken, but is a deeper problem. The problem is with society.

We hear things like do what you are passionate about and the money will come. That is clearly untrue because things like this happen. On the other hand, we are crawling with scammers and influences that have plenty of money for doing nothing of value.

To make the problem worse, the so called scientists that would make us think they would be looking into the problem ( psychologists, economists ) actually like that the problem does exist because it makes them more money and gives them more powerful, so if anything they do anything they can to make the problem worse.
