Sub.club thinks premium feeds could also serve other use cases, like supporting helpful bots or generating funds to help maintain a community's Mastodon server, for instance.

You're already free to support developers and instance owners financially if they've set up either Patreon, OpenCollective or LiberaPay 🤷 That's money going where it's needed.

If I understand SubClub correctly, it's monetisation on a user level, which in the past has only really given us influencers. I rather enjoy not having that kind of bullshit on the fediverse.

Problem is, not enough people are doing it. Case in point: https://join-lemmy.org/donate

I'm not sure what the difference between SubClub or Patreon is supposed to be. Other than SubClub takes a smaller cut.

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw this. The difference in that they market it as a fediverse extension.
