People who do projects and build communities, to be honest, are all pursuing their own interests. Don't make the accounts look too perfect.

Regarding donations, the essence is simple—you're giving money to someone else, and they hold that funds. If they accept the money but turn a blind eye, that is a breach of trust. It's completely reasonable to criticize them. Trust is a two-way street, not a one-sided moral coercion. Whoever takes the money must deliver the corresponding value; this is a basic game rule.

There's nothing wrong with that; if you take the money, you have to work for it, otherwise you're just a scammer. Taking donations and then trying to walk away completely? Dream on. I've seen this trick too many times; I've already pulled down my pants. Trust isn't a one-sided cheap commodity; don't expect to get it for free. Once the money arrives, there must be output; this isn't being harsh, it's basic.

That's right, this is how the industry is now—taking the money but not delivering anything and still pretending to be innocent. Having a pretty account is useless; implementation is the real key. I agree with the idea of mutual trust, but don't just brainwash people unilaterally here. Hand over the money and the goods at the same time—that's not excessive. Donations are an investment activity; you need to look at the ROI, don't pretend to be a philanthropist. Reconcile the accounts, it's only proper.

I knew it, this theory sounds great, but in reality, it's not that absolute... There are many project teams that sound good but have no real substance in their pockets, but how many have actually been criticized to the point of collapse? Donations are essentially a game of information asymmetry; everyone wants to profit. The question is, how do you prove they didn't do any work? Some people are indeed exploiting the system, but others are really just feeling their way through. Don't blame everything on others. If these words are used to criticize large funds, that's fine. But in small communities, it's basically like mice gnawing on endless corn cobs. Mutual trust is important, but why weren't you so cautious when you were handing over the money?

That's right, taking the money and then working is not called moral kidnapping, it's called a transaction. Those who hide their ledgers every day are feeling guilty; transparency in investment actually makes people less trusting. These days, everyone involved in projects wants to make a quick profit, but the key is not to fool around. I'm already tired of those pretty ledgers; in plain language, it's just cutting leeks with filters. The rules of the game are so simple: once the money is in hand, you have to get things done. What's there to talk about? So, the biggest fear when choosing a project is that the other party can talk but lacks execution power. That's the truth; trust should be mutual from the start, not one-sided effort.

nah this is just simmering down to basic market dynamics innit... you give someone capital, they gotta cook up the returns or it's all half-baked promises. can't have one side marinating in trust while the other's just seasoning their pockets lol

You're right, taking the money and still pretending to be honest is really disgusting.
