The subjective cost of doing the same contribution varies from person to person.

variable cause - skill - The higher the skill, the less time it takes, so the subjective cost goes down. - If you are highly skilled and earn money from it, giving it away for free feels like a financial loss. - available time - (of one’s business) slow would be an easy way to contribute.
