What does the author of the Windows wareznik get?

Question

Windows

So I'm wondering, on the trackers there is a whole bunch of activated Windows, etc., with additional software and other features. But the question is what the author of such a "brainchild" receives. There are no ads, and constantly releasing updates is a waste of your time. Weird. Who knows the answer?

Answer 1

The author receives:
A hacked product that he uses himself. Well, share with others.
Experience.
Assemblies can contain a bunch of promotional products. Both free and shareware. These products become famous and popular by installing this build multiple times.
White hat.

Answer 2

1. Job satisfaction
2. Botnet

Answer 3

+1 for Botnet

Answer 4

1. It's very cool, much cooler than doing anything else. You become a "hacker" and gain respect in the eyes of thousands of grateful users
2. Experience is like a pet project
3. Become part of one of the warmest Runet communities
4. Contribute to the fight against corporations, rip off money and track users. You become the vanguard of the army, which will be the last frontier in the battle against panopticons, windows 10 and other delights of civilization
5. Donat, if a particular author has one
6. Own time - maybe the author is bored at work))

Answer 5

1. Most often, these projects start as for themselves/acquaintances, and then they become popular and go out into the "world"
2. Traffic to your site (popularity), from browsers in which your (or advertised) site is registered by default during installation .
3. Sometimes botnets.
4. Donate.
