the reality of this and really anything in life is that if it's free, you're the product. i dont like the idea of ads, even as funny as user generated ads are i feel kind of grimy forcing that shit on users. the problem is I want everyone to have everything I can offer on this platform at all times. the idea of paywalling or gating off features, functions or whatever is how you ostracize your user base. look at the migration from twitter when the 8$ blue check shit hit and they limited how much stuff people can view daily.
that makes me feel disgusting even thinking about it. the idea here is providing incentive or value outside of restricting or limiting what someone can or can't do on a platform. a subscription based service like the ability to "boost" a poast so everyone sees it (even tho you do anyway if you check the local timeline) for example. or like another user suggested, views on a particular poast. view counting seems really fucking gay but it seems like something people would enjoy. little stuff like that will go a long way. so it's all stuff i've resolved to explore beyond just asking for handouts. i should be providing something beyond the base experience if i expect the support or whatever
