Venice and Paying for content!

[Owen Densmore]

Hey, thanks. The Guardian site popped up a plea for support so I finally did.

Which reminded me to ask folks: How often do you contribute to web services and how?

I do a yearly donation to Wikipedia, and subscribe to three or so developers via Patreon

    https://www.patreon.com/

.. and recently to Open Collective

     https://opencollective.com

for Rollup. And like the Guardian, spontaneous acts of gratuitous giving :)

I wonder how the web is evolving to paying folks for useful services? The Brave browser folks have built in payments but I've not entirely switched over yet so don't know how well that's going.

Thoughts?

I pay monthly to the NY Times, the WashPost, the Guardian, and Medium.

They work, I enjoy, they deserve to be paid for their work.
