This is a gif, but I'm not sure if it plays to others as one or if bluesky is weird about those. It displayed it as one when I selected it, but it's not post-posting for me now :(

Reminder to myself to not make posts before I have coffee, I really didn't notice I said Dingle Digit

The main point I'm making here is the importance of having that information public, regardless as to how the institutions get funding to accomplish such, so that our society as a whole has access to be well informed, even if they come from economic hardship.

A lot of people in this thread are missing my point, NPR works to make sure the public has access to the information they provide regardless of indivisuals ability to pay. Sponsors, grants, As well as donors, Make it so the public can have that access to important information despite wage gaps

This would sound like a dream come true, I feel like pay would depend wildly on the expectations of the art/ time expected it to be complete.
Sketches, realism, cartoons, colored/shaded, etc. Often change how much a given artist would charge, many will be saying they'd "do it for the zine"

Everything has contradictions, I know a lot of media outlets, including, say, NPR have all basic news as a free service but offer extra w paid support. (Like more game shows, merch, physical media, etc) so that the information important is free, while they can still raise funds for employees.

- an informed public betters society and News should not be pay walled. That creates a class system where the poor don't get to partake in due government processes (such as knowing how to go about properly voting, how their tax dollars are being spent, etc)
This is different from say, hobby info.

I think depending on the information the point is, it can be dangerous for people to not have access to it. People have a RIGHT to know what's going on with local politics, climate, etc. Because it's actively impacting their life. Education is vital for a healthy society.
Entertainment is leisure-

I think it's easier to customize your feed/what you see here at least. They have "starter packs" of various fields of people to follow or to mass block that helped me a lot

It was so hard to not buy the entire sites catalog, (but got a whole cart)
absolutely amazing work!!
