That response is quite...hostile?
Someone spent their time to report a bug they found but close it because they didn't pay the dev? Isn't that a kind of contribution?
It is totally acceptable to ignore it but closing the issue with hostility is a questionable practice.
I’ve been checking that repo for many years. The guy is pretty chill, but several companies have taken advantage. They use the stack, post massive integration issues and demand free labor. Building a commercial product on top of a free open source software is pretty awful practice tbh
Actually, reporting issues is not considered a bad practice in open source. If the corporation expects the dev to work for free, that's a problem. But I found the original bug report, and it's just a normal report. It doesn't read entitled, doesn't demand "Fix it NOW!!!", simply explains an issue.
the issue is about integrating a third party device, owned by a corporation to an open source platform.

“Give us free labor or buy something, will ya?”
Actually dipshit, that’s not how it works.
it’s the other way around honestly. the guy is pretty solid when an actual user inquires or opens an issue. the bug reported is from a company that is trying to integrate their custom commercial product on top of the open source platform. it’s pretty shady practice if you ask me
