Do they pay you to triage their noise?
Remember that you owe no one anything at all. Neither legally nor morally. Your chosen license likely even states the former in plain english.

Personally, I've adopted the "you annoy me, you're out" stance and have been quite happy with it. You do need a tough shell to do that though as you will be facing all the social exploits people can throw at you.
It also leaves "growth potential" on the table, the same way that limiting your exposure to ionizing radiation does.
That all said, it depends on what your goals are + where in the lifecycle of your project you are. So don't take this as "this is the way" but "this can be one way".
Either way, you're not an asshole for not reading slop. Don't let anyone gaslight you into that.
