@feld@bikeshed.party @lain@lain.com @hfaust@shitposter.world @sun@shitposter.world Louis Rossmann in a video said something like you should pay creators whose content you find valuable to you $1. Because viewers are worth like a few cents to creators due to the little ad revenue they receive.

I think this is a very good idea. I like something, I give a dollar to a few bucks. It's basically nothing for me. But that pays for a lot of views from me. Same thing goes with open source software. If I find it useful, I see if they accept donations.

I know if I made something open source and someone sent me a dollar, I'd be ecstatic that someone cares so much about my software to even think of giving me money. I once received an email thanking me for like $2 from a dev lol

Granted, I know not everyone has disposable income to do that. But I think it's a good idea if one has the means.

I refuse to give Google money for YouTube. I don't think they deserve it with how they treat content creators and users. I'd rather skip them and directly pay the creators off platform
