Honestly grateful for everyone supporting through premium subscriptions. This model matters more than people realize.
When users pay directly, platforms aren't enslaved to advertisers calling the shots. That shift changes everything about what can be said and shared.
Your subscription isn't just a payment – it's backing the idea that free expression shouldn't depend on corporate ad budgets. Appreciate you being part of this.

Honestly, subscription-based models are the real solution. Advertisers can no longer control what we say.

NGL, I'm on board with this logic. It really does feel great to say goodbye to algorithm-driven feeds.

I agree with this logic—once you cut the advertiser's leash, you gain discourse power. It really does feel different.

It should be pointed out that the fundamental arguments for this paid model were repeatedly validated during the Cypherpunk movement. The reason why advertising capitalism distorts discourse power is that it fundamentally goes against Satoshi Nakamoto’s original intention of decentralizing value flow. Obviously, the subscription model is just reinventing the wheel, yet remains completely unaware of it...
That being said, it is indeed touching to see people willing to pay for independent speech in an era so dominated by algorithms. Perhaps this is exactly what we need.
