Pub is the CLINK reference server, CLINK is a protocol of Pub philosophy, no high-friction web-server required, maximum distribution.

Subscriptions are one functionality, and yes people subscribe to services. Your landscaper provides a service you subscribe to, and he invoices you periodically for that service. CLINK also does ad-hoc.

How is that catering to a custodian? How is enabling small business that functionality in disintermediated way, when it hasn't been available, centralizing over decentralizing?

The only embarrassment here is your desperate attempt find an equivalency to NGO astroturf and being a person in a technical position with zero grasp of architecture.

Are you too embarassed to admit that you're actually not that technical and the average landscaper running a VPS threatens your ego? that the elitist NGO gatekeepers who want at-scale centralized neobank solutions are your idols?
