Yes and yes. Remember too that you can use forum platdorms, with Discourse or similar, so that you can collectively own your content or blog. These platforms can selectively federate and share stuff more widely. For the rest of us on here I think we need to think more about tipping or paying for products or services we genuinely value, and not expect creators to be paid by the ad / algorithm shit. We get what we deserve in the long run.
