This was a good watch. I liked the emphasis that you're not paying for code per se, but paying to support a specific maintainer who is developing some code. In that context, already having a community around you, and doing a bit of self-promotion is important.
The same authour has another interesting video about the weird incentives around feature request bounties, which I enjoyed as well.
