Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

For open source to be more sustainable, companies need to contribute more to open source contributors through financial support. Today, most open source contributors need to spend extra time on securing sponsorship or taking on extra work to support themselves. Open source maintainers often burn out as a result, leading to a lower velocity of improvement on open source software.
