Comment on Watch out for devs trying trick bug reporters into doing work

If you’re not paying that engineer, you have no good reason to form opinions about “where they belong” in terms of work they do that might benefit you.

Someone tasking someone else without paying them is indeed being not where they belong. In the case of the OP, that’s the dev tasking the bug reporter.

  Are you a paying customer? If so, I understand completely.
  
  Is this free software? The dev is a bigger volunteer than you.

    Testers and bug reporters are not paying customers. They are volunteer CONTRIBUTORS you asshole.
    
    If so, I understand completely.
    
    Obviously not.

    Nonsense. Contributors are equals. Exceptionally, devs who demand that testers fix the software are notably smaller.

    So you did not pay, but you are BOLDFACING your volunteer contribution over the much larger contributions of the developers.
