Probably an unpopular opinion here but this whole situation just comes off as so immature to me.<p>Author of free open source library loudly proclaims they won’t continue to do work for free. Loudly proclaims again when getting sponsored by one of the worst companies in the world that he will continue working on said project.<p>It’s a test data generator, not a Linux kernel, what sort of work is even left to justify being paid full time?

Congratulations. Last time I used GoDaddy to look up a domain name, it magically became unavailable right away. One person I know also had this happen to them. Very strange and sounds like the "I talked about X near my phone and next thing you know, ads are appearing", but it's strange.
Transferring ownership of a project seems like quite a big step in order to get support.<p>I'm not familiar with hooks.io, but transferring ownership of something that seems promising in return for support for another thing feels a bit sleazy?
