Modern offline music apps are honestly super underrated. When you realize how much they often "just work", still having a local music library does not really feel that inconvenient
Yeah tbh and like the stock music app on most phones does actually exist, although there are way better options now. ˚ʚ Belle ɞ˚ @ working too damn much replied on The Death of DeviantArt and the art-site shaped hole haunting the Internet

I think there's something to be said that the panhandling aspect of it that feels extremely prominent in current times considering the: 1, economy, and 2, increasing censorship from real legal, financial, and social forces. There's only so much energy a person can devote to sustainability if they're drowning in financial stress.
But I 100% agree with you that we can definitely get more creative about sustainability. There is room for improvement, and there are wayyyyy more things to think about than just "platform for my freak". It has to be user safety tools, customization options, free resources, etc!!!
Tysm for sharing links, I'll go check that out 🫡
The solutions to the economic stress of the moment are not going to be some by making a better store. I am incredibly sympathetic to the plight of NSFW creators as a former survival SW myself however community spaces have to be multi-use and cannot be entirely dominated by commerce is the point that I'm making - those are legislative hurdles that need to be confronted on a real life community level and have not and will not be solved by people attempting to bootstrap themselves out of poverty by monetizing every single part of their existence and community spaces. Do whatever you need to but if the only people you're selling to is other creatives who are also looking for sales then the ecosystem has started to eat itself. ˚ʚ Belle ɞ˚ @ working too damn much commented on Hello World!
