@chrismessina some folks use buymeacoffee or ko-fi who are less bad than Patreon, etc.

@olavf @chrismessina yeah, just something easily integrated if people want to show the support..

social signals are weird.. would love creators to have something that shows they're finding support on their network of choice but we don't seem to want that.

That's where coins really shine on systems like reddit

@chrismessina once dollars get involved things get complicated. Setting up something to buy 'coins' from you'd end up with a website/space that integrates Stripe. Selling/trading/redeeming coins... I don't even know how one would set that up

@olavf @chrismessina Wouldn't be hard to each instance to have their own strip and earn say 3% or some random number for being the marketplace and pay out 94% to creator after card fees... could be a way for instances to help cover costs and build a market but yeah.. lots of work :D

@supernovae @chrismessina I did some poking and not even talking about s/w we're talking a total clusterf.
And thinking about it, approaching anything that smacks of monetization with this crowd will likely not end well.

@olavf @chrismessina monetization through invasive and privacy busting ads is much different than people paying for things they enjoy.
