You should absolutely go do this if you can, but, I think that this highlights an important aspect of small business / startup budgeting that a lot of people miss.

Gruber uses the phrase “already booked revenue” to describe the refundable portions of subscriptions. That isn’t (or, well, shouldn’t) be how you understand “revenue”.

A more accurate term would be “cash in the bank”, and the distinction is important.

People worry a lot about losing knowledge — about "burned-down libraries".

Comparatively few people seem to worry about what happens if you take a billion books full of auto-generated, often-untrue junk text and *add* them all to the library.

In theory, nothing is lost. In reality, everything is lost, because nothing useful can now be found.

Some people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.

Not the case.

It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.

Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important *because* it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.

By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.

So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.
