Sure… If donating wasn’t a pain in the ass to do due to payment methods being different across countries.
I have a few projects I wouldn’t mind donating to, but as Patreon uses PayPal it is just more trouble than it is worth
People downvote cause seeing ads is annoying, but IMO, if it is done tastefully it is the only viable way to pay for the infrastructure, and it would prevent a collapse of the system.
Even if a social network loses 99,99% of the user base due to charging to use it, those left are the ones that see no problem paying to use it, so they are more likely to eat up some insane pricing, which would help recoup losses from a smaller user base. Basically whales.
I think the only way to try to kill a social network is by going full scorched earth on it. Remove all your comments, or change them to be an annoying copy pasted comment about why you’re getting off the platform. And even then I don’t think it is helpful, I did that with Reddit but was forced to leave technical posts intact because I feared I might prevent someone from solving their issue.
