Well, when I post on SN, I’m usually pretty darn confident that people will be kind enough to zap my sats back. Even if my post garners zero zaps, it’s still a win for me because 1) posting it has directly or indirectly contributed to me keeping my cowboy hat for one more day (something I really care about haha) n 2) I get to declutter the physical copy of my writing n claw back a bit more control of my space. But I’m not confident that when I pay to post on other forums, people will be obliging enough to help me break even on average haha
