@CobaltVelvet@octodon.social @ccolocho@cybre.space @HeckTheCistem placing value and worth on something does not mean folks have to pay to access it
it does mean it takes some measure of labor and experience in order to foster and create, which is why it has value
if someone posts funny shit all the time, it's not unreasonable for them to be like "hey if you like my posts i got this thing you can use to give me money"
