I've basically stopped volunteering. At this point, I'd rather pay an actual for-profit company to run things. Because if they don't do what I like, I take my money elsewhere, and it would lead to people appreciating what they have.
Time is stretched very thin nowadays for everyone. Very little gratitude is shown to volunteers. And at least in my chosen motorsport, there are a lot of big money people who give exactly zip back and champion for ever higher costs in the sport. I don't need to volunteer my free time for that.
