It’s amazing that you were willing to make it work out of pocket, but that’s just not scalable.
Or maybe IETF has structured itself so that most serious participants require sponsorship. If, on the other hand, IETF were structured in such a way as to accommodate self-paying contributors, it might scale. It would look different than it does now, but that would not necessarily be a Bad Thing.
(More likely, money to fund travel wouldn't be the scaling constraint - some other constraint would dominate - but it might still attract more contributors, and more diverse contributors.)
