I'm honestly confused, would love someone to explain:
From Wired: "Tidelift doesn't offer technical support"
From Tidelift site: "The professional support you need."
So, which is it?
From Wired: "[Tidelift] doesn't employ the developers who maintain open source projects."
From Wired: "[D]evelopers can focus on code instead of sales and marketing."
If they aren't employees, what are they? Contractors? I can see how it simplifies things to have to deal with 1 party instead of N, but if they aren't paying you a full salary it seems like a developer would still need to deal with sales and marketing.
