Swa this pop up in my Github news feed today 🤔 
Which links to https://github.com/musingstudio/go-subclub
> A Go (golang) library for interacting with the sub.club API.
So I got curious and had a peek 👀
> Let's fund the Fediverse
>> Posting or hosting on the open social networks no longer means you have to do it for free. Developer Preview now available.
And further down:
> Monetize your feeds
>> If you post quality content and you've developed a loyal audience, you should be able to ask your most passionate followers to support you with a premium subscription.
>>
>> That's a promise not available on the Fediverse ...until now.
Hmmm 🤔

@prologic I simply have absolutely no interest in selling my thoughts to others. I don't like things behind paywalls. Each to their own, but I'm not gonna contribute to that.
@prologic @lyse Yeah, same. They say:
> If you post quality content and you've developed a loyal audience, you should be able to ask your most passionate followers to support you with a premium subscription.
You already can ask your most passionate followers to support you: You can ask for donations.
I regularly donate to people if their content is great and if they actually ask for donations (many just don’t). The platforms for that already exist, I think. 🤔
I’m not interested in the slightest in stuff that has a paywall. “Subscribe for more content!” No, why, go away. Pages that do this immediately feel shady and not trust-worthy. 🤔

Nicely put, @movq! Exactly, reminding people to subscribe etc. is dodgy. To me it feels they think their audience is dumb (and they might be right, I don't know). Super annoying.
