This is so amazing to see. I'm reminded of traditional apprenticeship structures and guilds. I think it would be really amazing if we could build modern worker-owner cooperatives, worker compacts, and other mutual aid and mutual self-help structures to invest in ourselves and our fellow workers in a postive-sum future. If the work is worth doing, it's worth funding and perpetuating.
Things like Patreon and GitHub sponsorships are subscription based. I wonder if something that includes a compounding interest bearing component could help make these funding mechanisms more stable for those who benefit from them? Does anyone have any ideas in this space?
This is really very inspiring. As this sort of writing become increasingly less valuable (in terms of income), I wonder what if more people would be interested in these sorts of endowment models.
