that's true, like being a bitcoin missionary of sorts

I suppose what I meant by charity was that if you're doing some kind of public service like bitcoin education, then you can see your v4v model as more akin to charity. That would mean explicitly trying to raise funds for your work from people who support your cause.

Has v4v failed ?

fair points, although it seems making a pure income of substack and patreon alone is pretty tough though, no?

i also don't know if we can compare it with charity because a creator cannot just work forever without an income, whereas charity is a whole other beast, and take most of the money themselves.

maybe v4v concept works best as an addition
