    How about this: I consider my contributions greater than average, and my time worth money. I could be deluded, but obviously, I don't think so.

    Alternatively I could get a job, do the grind, and find a bit of time to "socialize" and pay. I'd rather be free and socialize for free. If I didn't land on SaidIt I would have looked for one like it or made my own.

    I've already stated to SaidIt and WikiSpooks that if they get desperate, more desperate than me (a low bar), then I'd help.

    January has and will be crazy, so I've stayed my exit-ation, but I'll soon be leaving most of SaidIt for a while.

      Do they need to?

      I'm a voluntarist, and most people are and act like it generally, whether they realize it or not. The difference is that most also build on top of it with rules and dogmas and tribal identities and such.

      How do you see it?

        I don't know enough about Reddit or Ruqqus, beyond what I hear here. Reddit is completely compromised, corporate, censored, and unreliable - so supporting SaidIt is supporting free thought. If the content on Ruqqus is as good as SaidIt then I suppose it's good to have competition - and it's also good to experiment with different economic models in the free market. I prefer the donate if you can if you like it model.

        Free is rarely free, and too often if it's free then you're the product or target.

          Financially stable?

          M7 says he runs it for $400/year.
