@fmn@mastodon.social This is also in the context of a time when many creatives have been corralled into corporate-captured similar services to earn their living, such as Substack.

But it would be helpful were "audience" understood here to mean "existing willing patrons," not "other social media users generally." @Mastodon@mastodon.social @johnonolan@mastodon.xyz @Gargron@mastodon.social
