@dansup I recently read about the idea of "patron posts", i.e. giving people the option to set their profile up so people with invested interest in your work/art can subscribe to individual accounts.
This would both attract artists and entertainers (won't use "content creator", imho it's a derogative term), but could also finance the very instance they use if there's f.e. a 1% cut on every transaction.
Would be hell of an implementation nightmare to properly work with the "change instance"
@dansup feature and there'd be a lot of questions to answer (3rd party client / instance compatibility, patron post feature set etc). It'd be one hell of an argument for many, MANY people to join the fedi though, including those we only see on platforms like Youtube).
