I am pleased to announce an alternative, whereby we can all continue to make our premium content available to ALL through the use of ongoing sponsorship. Instead of a walled garden, you'll be helping to release those posts into a sort of freely-accessible "commons" where they maintain copyright but will make their posts and media available entirely outside commercial means!

It's simple! You identify users in need relevant to your own personal interests and community via context clues (for example, your friends discussing low supplies of vital medication such as HRT, or writing about substandard living conditions or abusive family members, couch-hopping, those in a caregiving role or ill instead of drawing a salary, or someone you know is on a fixed income insufficient to meet their needs)

And then you just give them money regularly based on what you have that you don't need and in exchange, the wolf no longer at their door, they'll post their thoughts and dreams and participate in the community, learning and making and sharing and caring! It will actually improve the content of their posts, replacing negative sentiment with positive and unlocking an entire category of extra posts about relief, security and improving health and wellbeing!

Best of all, you'll find they'll automatically redistribute whatever they can do without from your sponsorship to other members of that community and you don't even have to do anything, those networks all already exist!

What would you pay, to keep the dream of an open community alive?
