I get that this is one frame for how one uses money: > What am I getting for my money? But it's not the only frame, and I think it's vastly overapplied. Between various online newspapers, magazines and Patreon-supported writers and whatnot, I spend probably $2k/year. What do I get out of it personally? Very little. But the world gets quite a lot out of good journalism, and I'd say the world needs a lot more of it. I get that fundamentalist capitalism wishes to squeeze everything into the mold of dollar-denominated quid-pro-quo exchanges. It's certainly a useful frame on many occasions, but it's ultimately a bit me-me-me for my tastes. I have no opinion on this particular project, but in general I think we should find a way to support things that are useful to lots of people, because otherwise those things tend to go away.
