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.

I will listen to a rude paying customer if I must, because my income will be tied to it. If a similar paying customer comes and they are better behaved, the rude customer will take second position.

On an open source project that I’m doing for my own enjoyment rude people are not welcome. I’m doing that for my own enjoyment - to decompress after dealing with rude people. Close issue, won’t fix, ban free user.
