You’re missing what I’m saying. If you need people to donate to support it, just say that. That’s similar to how V4V works. If you don’t care whether people donate, then posting about how much you are spending is pointless and self serving. Feigning martyrdom.

Fucking mic drop.

Derek how dare you offer free stuff that others can use to build stuff... In Value4Value we use Time, Talent and Treasure. Each person has different amounts of each and some people can just foot the bill for stuff b/c they can. I get accused of this myself all the time. I built the site below for @The Doerfels and didn't even have any donation links for myself b/c I'd rather people support The Doerfels instead of myself b/c I want them to thrive and be able to put out great music from their home studio. I did add my PayPal to the site b/c TJ wanted me to and it is the right thing to do but some people are just conduits for the Value flow and don't care about receiving that much if any but its is cool to get support when it shows up. Anything I get goes right back out of my other pocket but I guess that's the V4V circular economy working. I'm also paying about $150 a month in different AI tools and services to build stuff because I can. Heres the site btw :) itdv.podtards.com
