I am of course aware of Liberapay (and Patreon).

I remember reading some criticism of the Open Collective platform before, but I can’t quite remember the details.

Anyone has a good take on the pro and cons?

    Leave them some privacy. Just because they’re open source devs doesn’t mean they have to tell you where they spend your money. It’s a donation after all, not funding.

      Has nothing to do at all with being “open source dev” but with ethics.

      It is the same I require to donate to the food bank here since they don’t accept direct donations of material and only money.

      Edited: If I had the opportunity to donate something specific I would do. Believe me.
