Does anyone had a similar experience like that?

I totally understand the abuses described by the author and feel sorry about that. But I wonder how other successful open-source projects survived and eventually became rentable like Vue.js

It doesn't have to be a universal experience for it to be applicable to some. I have no source to cite, but I know this is not the first blog I've read where an open source maintainer has to step away due to abuse from entitled strangers. To your question, I bet it happens more on one person projects, where the person and the project aren't separated as much and where there is no collective to beat down the bad faith comments.
