I'm sorting through all that too. I want to value my time and energy, but also be free from the capitalistic/production machine. Love your thoughts on this.
It’s a complicated thing. I actually had a Patreon friend reach out after readng and suggest that I emphasize the “free-ness” of everything I create while also emphasizing the amount of time it takes to create it. And so although I want to make everything accessible to everyone, I welcome whatever money people can/want to give in support. I struggle with this, also, because of the “baggage” such conversations carry from the church - where every other Sunday or so I’d be expected to give a “shakedown” from the pulpit, reminding people what Malachi says about tithing, giving, etc. Blah!
