Several times, I have been suggested to start a Patreon or some other system for providing premium content in exchange for regular donations. The idea of receiving regular donations certainly appeals to me (although it’s unclear what stops a reader from simply donating regularly without using intermediary services) — but for a long time, I couldn’t figure out what kind of premium content I would be willing to offer. Share smarter thoughts with paid subscribers and less smart ones with free ones? Well, that’s not quite it…

Then an idea occurred to me. In my main channel, on the website, and in all the linked social networks, I talk about libertarianism, while I usually remain behind the scenes. So, as premium content, I could provide my own personal perspective on the world around me — basically, various things that don’t fit into the format of a channel about libertarianism.

So, I started a live channel on the Boosty service (chosen for banal economic reasons — it takes less for mediation than its competitors: 7%, plus the payment system commission). I will post personal things there, while still trying to avoid my deanonymization. There is only one subscription level, 200 rubles per month, and so far I don’t see any reason to create more. If you have suggestions on what else could be written there, subscribe and let me know in the comments. As you know, I always highly value the opinion of those who are willing to back it with money, and I try to fulfill such requests.
