Personalised bundling should be a thing already for supporting your favourite creators, writer and people on the internet.

It shouldn’t be that hard to create a standard that could be adopted by payment gateways and publication software to divide the spend among them.

When e-commerce standard is being invented why is payment and publication provider coupled?

I don’t want to be tied to moral implications of supporting someone on the internet because of the service they use to publish.

But more importantly, I want to pay what I can and if I have a budget of $500 for year for this sort of thing. I should be able to allocate accordingly to everyone I want to. This will make the good writing much more accessible.

@vsvivek93 Yeah. This is a huge pain point for me. I want to support the writers I like, or unlock a podcast episode if I find the topic intriguing, but I don't want to buy a year-long subscription.

Some indie creators still have a buy me a coffee type link. But most don't have that.

I wish more people would follow the "pay what you want" strategy.

I think we should be building it. If I am at ghost or any open source hosting provider. Literally what I would invest all my efforts in building.
