That not so much. I’m happy to be a grifter. Just not via this patronage model. I don’t like the optics of “subscription micropatronage” (I’ve concluded it’s a bad look) though I experimented with it on my own for a few years. Also the consequences/incentives are really icky.

Ya nearly everyone who relies on it substantially becomes a cartoon version of themselves to milk their audience. Glad you realised this from your coffee tipping days.

About 100x worse. With a Corp you know the deal with the devil upfront. With a crowd you only realize it when it first blows up in your face. My principle with crowds over the last few years has been: only sell stuff, don’t accept charity. It WILL blow up in your face.
