Honestly, if this reduces user-hostile UI changes for paid accounts, and I can get a chronological feed of just friend activity with original content, I’d pay it at this point.
(I know there is supposed to be a friends-only feed now, but it’s not even close to being friends-only still.)

Seriously? You’re gonna pay money to this guy?

I mean, do I want to give money to a billionaire? Not exactly.
On the other hand, if we don’t start supporting premium software services and open source projects, the enshtiffication trend will get worse.
I have to choose among my principles, and I’m strongly against user-hostile UI/UX paradigms, enshittification, and other downard quality trends in software/services.
