Somewhat off-topic, but I feel like the "patronage economy" is really taking off, with Patreon and GitHub sponsors. Content like this is really interesting, and I've appreciated this blog's various write-ups in the past.
There's another great blog, with writings supported by patrons, whose name escapes me (I think the domain ends in something about "lime", with the '.me' ccTLD).
Whenever I see those domains on HN, I always click, since I have a high expectation the content will be good, given how it was created.
- jamii 5y agoIt's getting there. I started 3.5 months ago and I'm currently making ~75% of minimum wage (which to be fair is pretty high in BC). I suspect it's also going to be fragile. The next time we hit a recession or, god forbid, another pandemic, sponsorships will probably be the first thing to go. But it does help fill gaps. There are a lot of things I've wanted to code, study or write about that I think people will get value from but that I could not get any employer to pay for. So I really appreciate being able to work on things just because they're valuable, rather than because there is a way to capture the value and make a profit.
