• GitHub Sponsors - A series on giving an receiving 💰

  GitHub Sponsors was launched five years ago. For several years it was available only in a limited number of countries, but two years ago I could also join.

Now I'd like to invest some time an energy understanding it and trying to figure out how could I increase the monthly sponsorship I receive. - Source: dev.to / 9 days ago

• The Lack of Compensation in Open Source Software Is Unsustainable

• How to support authors’ donations to Wiki? Donate to them elsewhere.

  A solution could be creating a pay-what-you-want remixable space where people could search, donate to, and interact with the open resources and each other via collaborative editing and discussions. The closest I found are Amazon Ignite, Gumroad, TeacherPayTeachers, MOOCs, Scratch, OER Commons, GitHub Sponsors, itch.io, Roam, Learning Webs, Schoolhouse.world, Patreon, Anagora, and Wiki. Out of these, Wiki is the... Source: over 1 year ago

• No idea how reliable this guy is, saw the screenshot on Twitter. They have Forge videos on their YT but nothing that nobody else has from what I can see

  I don't understand why everyone has such a negative response to this. There are good ways to implement this that doesn't create a problem like how Roblox works.

Patreon is also another good way of approaching this. Source: almost 2 years ago
