“Finally I see some gears turning. We’re making progress here people!”

True. Still the most windows-like installation method.

Your wanted option is not gone, you can still download the binaries if the author presents them; or you can compile it from source. This is just another, more convenient way to distribute the program.

If you are looking to get your programs Windows-style, to download a binary or “install wizard”, then you can look into appimages.

Like any form of distribution however: someone has to offer this, be it the author or “some rando”.

Well, she’s advertised as a pretty woman, not a smart one.

And now, with a little less jest: It’s a stable income over a week, with a guy she evidently likes to at least look at. No need for advertising in that time. Meals are paid, as is time off. Also, the 21$ assume that she is paid 24 hours a day (3000$ ÷ 24 ÷ 6 = 20,83333…$) so she gets paid for sleeping, eating, essentially her own time. She also gets the opportunity to scout new, well off clients.

I would take that deal.
