OP was taking about Tumblr, but I think it applies even more to the Fediverse: users need to develop an ethos of paying to support the sites they use. Otherwise advertisers pay the bills and call the shots.

      Those who have money can afford better than what I got.

      It’s not a matter of having nothing to offer, it’s that what I do isn’t bought by people with money. Value ≠ What people pay for. Case in point: Funko-Pop figurines.
