The guardian was the first place I say "the beggsie"

In the years since, I've noticed many other platforms adopt the beggsie model. Which tells me, that if they all keep doing it, it probably isn't an insignificant source of revenue.

As a content creator planning on building for a market that is unarguably niche, and interested in one day converting it to a full time lifestyle business ... maybe writing a blurb asking for help at the end of articles could have a positive impact on the transition.

From the perspective of someone who is giving it all away under MIT there have to be revenue streams available which support that.

Maybe this in conjunction with a Patreon would offer a reasonable ROI.
