Blender suffers from a presentation issue (and has for years, almost a decade now): they like to show the very impressive results, but they struggle in explaining how what they do is different. People understand how they can edit Wikipedia; coders get Open Source, but most people when seeing that bouncy result have little idea what they can contribute in terms of work, or what makes it so expensive.
I find it a little bit weird to not be able to collaborate with anything smaller than 20€.
Looking at the status tab I'm surprised India is 60% done in cloudfunding, the most.
