I know most users here are against monetization, but I think that a simple Shopify storefront with behaw merch would go a long way to help entice more people to make a monitory donation. I would love a beehaw mug, stickers, and maybe even a shirt or a hat.
Good monetization: giving people tote bags, pens, t-shirts, stickers, coffee mugs, or window clings "in exchange for a donation" like PBS does.
Bad monetization: selling the ability to downvote posts, selling avatars, selling the ability to have your post stickied, and all the other ways shitty forums sell prestige
For only ~~$1/mo~~ $5/vote, I'll give your user the ability to downvote Comments in this thread only. Act now, time is limited!
Can I pay you in the self-assessed cash value of my foot pic NFTs?
It's going to be a long wait before the flood of PM_ME_UR_ profiles covers that.
