        You realize people make money from social media, right?

        Obviously not this one but the profitable ones.

          Yes, absolutely! But the suggestion to self host when you’re not even contributing to their income comes across as a little unjustified.

              • Comment 1: Why do some comic artists only post to social media?
              • Comment 2: It costs money to make a website.
              • Comment 3: It only costs $10 to make a website.
              • Me: The comic artist is not making any money right now from us on Lemmy.
              • You: Social media platforms are profitable.
              • Me: Yes, they are. Additionally, I believe that comment 3 is unfair because that person is not paying towards the $10 for the comic artist to make their own website.
