Somewhat off-topic, but I feel like the "patronage economy" is really taking off, with Patreon and GitHub sponsors. Content like this is really interesting, and I've appreciated this blog's various write-ups in the past.

There's another great blog, with writings supported by patrons, whose name escapes me (I think the domain ends in something about "lime", with the '.me' ccTLD).

Whenever I see those domains on HN, I always click, since I have a high expectation the content will be good, given how it was created.
