Making money from a website ruins the entire point — you’re now part of the problem.
- fauigerzigerk 2y agoIf my desire to make a living without submitting to some all powerful overlord makes me part of the problem, then we disagree on a very fundamental level on what the point actually is.
- protonbob 2y agoWould you say the same about music or fine art? What is the "point" exactly? History's greatest writers and artists have generally been able to dedicate their time to working because they are supported financially by selling their work.
- PaulRobinson 2y agoI think making money from a website is fine. You can sell products and services, and that's great. I think adtech on websites is a problem. And social media is an adtech product, not a content product. IndieWeb for me is about reducing reliance on adtech. You want to build a page to showcase your hand-carved penguins? Cool, hit me up with a URL! Selling independently produced courses or 1:1 mentorship? Offering consultancy or classes? Cool! Wrapping it all up in an adtech hell hole for people to harvest my data and then try and scam me or sell me utter crap based on browsing patterns around "news stories" that are false? Nah, I'll pass, thanks.
