I mean, how else do you expect things to work? Internet platforms aren't free to operate. Isn't paying creators directly supposed to be the ideal solution, instead of infesting pages with ads?
You're already free to support developers and instance owners financially if they've set up either Patreon, OpenCollective or LiberaPay 🤷 That's money going where it's needed.
If I understand SubClub correctly, it's monetisation on a user level, which in the past has only really given us influencers. I rather enjoy not having that kind of bullshit on the fediverse.
I'm not sure what the difference between SubClub or Patreon is supposed to be. Other than SubClub takes a smaller cut.
That's exactly what I thought when I first saw this. The difference in that they market it as a fediverse extension.
Problem is, not enough people are doing it. Case in point: https://join-lemmy.org/donate
