  While I consider the idea of mod collections a nice addition to modding in general, as it allows mod users to try
  out mods more easily, which in the end would benefit not only mod users
  but also mod authors, seeing an uptake in mod usage.
  The donation angle for mod collections, I'm already less happy about, but that is
  more related to the fact that I think the current atmosphere of trying
  to monetize everything is something I find problematic and unhealthy in
  the long run. It is however set up to be donation only and not a
  paywall, so that's not too bad...
  
  The two things I, as a mod author, find most problematic are the version pinning and dubiously legal
  approach of effectively claiming ownership of someone else's IP.
