Working on opensource is fun if you're paid to work for it!
What's not fun is being an unpaid open source maintainer that has to deal with toxic "open issues" by ungrateful people on the web.
I wish github would have a system where you need to donate $1 to open an issue and it's down to the maintainers to decide whether it's a good issue or claim the $1 if the issue opened is kinda toxic.
What's fun with open source is that even if you're paid or unpaid, you owe people absolutely nothing and you can close whatever issue you want, for whatever reason you want. Tired of dealing with toxic issues? Turn off issues and let people fix their own shit.
No one is forcing you to accept issues, toxic or not, same goes for patches. In open source, you create your own project and you run it however you want.
