Would You Pay For This And If So, How Much? 
I remember "donating" to EZ Supporter.
A little notation appeared under my name. I felt proud, giving money to retards. People could just glance over and see immediately that I CARED. I felt like part of a community. I could assuage my guilt for ignoring Jerry's Kids and not coughing up a single dime to cancer research. I had already contributed, you see. And when the firefighters came to my door looking for handouts, I could peek from my window, determine that none of them were sexy, and not answer the door in my underwear.
I gave money to Yuku. Maybe twice, I don't remember. They were dark days. Blackness surrounded me.
And what did I get for it? Squat.
Not a gold star. Not a little flashy thing on my profile. Not nothing.
Why would I give more money if I am not going to be applauded or recognized for that?
I am pretty sure we were threatened with ads. That was a flop. And then there's this community pot or something, I don't know how it works but I think if OTHER people give money then NONE of us get ads. So if someone else is going to do something for me, why should I bother? Besides, there's add-ons to take care of this.
EZ Board gave me a totebag and a coffee mug. Yuku doesn't give me shit.
Quality is declining here recently, too. I am only partly to blame. There are others.
I think this place is still worth something, if only for the spiritual fulfillment it offers. But how to put a monetary value on that?
