About 15 years ago, I proposed an idea to the owner of a large internet photography site.

Allow us to add money to our monthly subscription fee, that we could then use to "tip" photos that were posted that we liked.

The idea was to encourage people to post more, and better pictures. But also to reward photographers that you thought were posting good work, since there were really no other ways am average photographer could make any money back from shoots (outside of weddings etc, I'm talking about hobby photography).

Anyway, the owner eventually said no, he couldn'timagine people just "randomly giving money away". I explained it only had to be cents/pennies, whatever, but he declined.

And here we are on nostr, where people randomly zap things they find cool or interesting, including photos :) and it's a great , unexpected, thing 😀😃
