Why we should expect more bugs in open source software

There are so many free, open source software projects out there that their developers and maintainers have little hope of being able to monetize their products. But there is always the other side of it: AD revenue. To create AD revenue it is enough to create traffic to a web site. How do we create traffic? We set up a forum or bug tracker and introduce bugs to our code. Bingo! Now, we have frustrated users coming to our web site, creating traffic, and generating AD revenue.

So, expect more and more unscrupulous crooks to piggy-back on this genius scheme, and more buggy FOS software. We are SOL.
