@love@thistlenfern.org @yourweirdofriend@thistlenfern.org @SomeNYDude@mastodon.social I mean, Beehiiv (family paid) for my long form , and the long form of those in my publication family.
I run on Liberapay and Ko-fi , against what Beehiiv provides for pay as you go.
Im barely getting by these days though.

@wendythedruid@thistlenfern.org @yourweirdofriend@thistlenfern.org @SomeNYDude@mastodon.social I feel you. I had a paywall for maybe a week or two early on at that others place. I hate marketing myself, it was too depressing. 🤣 Then the bit how Stripe could cost us extra money if someone cancelled just made it more risk than I even wanted to take. I quietly removed my paywall before I had any paid subs. Nothing to see here. I’m just bad at capitalism. 🤣🤣
