What's the point?

---

Thanks for the hard working xda team and members, but this question keeps nagging me:

What's the point of xda?
1000s of development hours which translates into what?
What is the return on investment?

Is it all for the pleasure of tinkering?
Is it to install malware into non-suspecting noobs?
Or is it for receiving donations?

What protects your intellectual properties?

I just don't understand!

Whatever your reasons are, just keep bringing thr good stuff

It is as difficult for me as it for you to understand.

Its an awsome place but I can't find out how xda makes its dollars.

XDA is not here to make dollars. The reason we are here is not to make money. If you come here thinking that is the case you are the wrong spot

We do it for the fun of hacking the devices we own. It is just easier to share our work with other developers, and the users get to benefit and (potentially) learn to start working on things themselves.

The reason donate links are there is because it is nice to have some of your costs defrayed in the case of developers who purchase devices frequently or purchase tools to enhance their work (such as me purchasing a bunch of NFC gear to test NFC functions with.)
