@jon going from the consumer to the product was an eye opening experience and horrifying.

@darius I run an actually small server and figure I will take the L for quite some time. I also do my own stream hosting and take an L on that, but that's got a line item in my excel budget. For me at least it's a matter of taking pride in facilitating community, art, and conversation. At some point I will have to Patreon or ask for donations, I don't really like that, but realistically it's inevitable.
