Why be an asshole? Yes I like free I also make things for free. Not everything has to cost.

For ongoing series I like I support directly, like anyone else. Not the platform.

But to charge up front for who knows what? Nope.

    That would be an improvement, how would I know I want anything in a store I have to pay before I even consume anything?

    I have several subscriptions ditectly to people making things I like.

    On the otherhand, I miss when people made things because they liked to. I still do that. I run several sites that has no ads, no charge, because I like the communities I am sharing with.

    Then again, it's not my job so I am afforded that luxury I guess.

    It also might be worth saying that watching people do things is not my favorite thing. I would rather actually do things.

    You clearly have absolutely no idea what infrastructure costs to run.
