Not to single you out, but this attitude is unbelievably frustrating. Everyone here loves to waste hours of their day signaling their virtue and complaining about all the evils done by the corporations, but so few are actually willing to put any skin in the game. they complain about entshittication from Spotify and Netflix, but religiously continue paying their subscriptions while refusing to support smaller, independent businesses.

Nice, I just hope that you are contributing with more than $1-2 per year. ;)
Also, if you understand the importance of support it the instances, why don't you wish that everyone did the same?

Indeed. We are already struggling to get users and content, adding a paywall would probably kill the platform
The idea is to get rid of "instances with open registrations". It doesn't mean that paywalled instances are the only way to achieve that.
I mean, you are not entitled to people being soldiers in your war against Big Tech. Like, I'd be totally for it, but some other time, nowadays I'm resting and being creative. Speaking of, not *everyone here* laps the crotch of Spotify et al. I'm a proud (but modest) pirate.
I wasn't the one starting the protests against Reddit, and I am not the screaming at my computer whenever Elon Musk says something completely stupid.
I just thought that after all these years, more people have understood what "when you don't pay for the product, you are the product" really meant.
