It’s still robbery, but it’s not the same. When people subscribe, they typically get something digital in return on Patreon.

minus-squareNotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoDoes eBay sell digital goods? I’d kinda expect the answer to be yes if so if you use the ebay app? If not, I’m actually surprised.
