Here's a pro tip from someone who publishes original content for people to read, enjoy, digest, learn from, or get frustrated with:

If you want to support creative types publishing content in your sphere of interest, hobby, passion:

Everytime you buy gear for that sphere of interest, no matter the vendor, tell them you were influenced by creator xyz, and suggest they should support creator xyz as an advertiser, etc.

This consumer support is worth like 10K clicks to a content producer.
