Sub.club thinks premium feeds could also serve other use cases, like supporting helpful bots or generating funds to help maintain a community’s Mastodon server, for instance.

I saw, I was just venting frustration at that specific viewpoint.
It’s annoying that the same tired tactics are being applied to every corner of the internet.
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.
