Server-Sent Events: the alternative to WebSockets you should be using
Love your hybrid model via gumroad! I do something similar for my own open-source project
https://github.com/open-wa/wa-automate-nodejs
There should be some sort of support group for those of us trying to monetize (sans donations) our open source projects!

How can I create a bot to respond to the most asked questions?
if you can program in Node.js, or have an basic knowledge of javascript or are motivated to learn Node.js, then I would recommend looking at https://github.com/open-wa/wa-automate-nodejs

Open source projects should run office hours
You can use a platform like otechie. There people are required to put in their card details before starting a conversation. This is what I do with open-wa (https://github.com/open-wa/wa-automate-nodejs#support)
Because I sell license keys to unlock features, it allows me to provide generalized support and quick bug fixes via the discord. If people need help with integration in their specific code base then that's when I ask them to go through the "consulting route" - if it's quick they use otechie. If it's more involved (1+ days) then we work out a contract arrangement.
I hardly get any clients through these means but it does put a clear value on my time which results in the community appreciating the time and effort into the project and the real time support (via discord).

Server-Sent Events: the alternative to WebSockets you should be using
the biggest drawback with SSE, even when unidirectional comm is sufficient is
> SSE is subject to limitation with regards to the maximum number of open connections. This can be especially painful when opening various tabs as the limit is per browser and set to a very low number (6).

also, for websockets, there are various libs that handle auto-reconnnects, e.g. https://github.com/github/stable-socket
