I echo your sentiments!
I know a guy, named Valued-Customer on hive. He lives like this. On Goodwill.
He is an elder man in America, works as a type of handy man with a wide array of trade skills. Plumbing, Carpentry, DIY, etc etc. He eschews accepting money as payment for his work, rather he lives on what he calls the goodwill credit gained from helping others. He needs nothing and everything he needs are always provided, he just only ask the people.
What a great way to live!
Valued Customer should come over here and bring ED.

You're more than qualified to explain to them how having no downvote makes better sense for content creators and their IMPORTANT followers. 🥓
VC has been on blurt before, but left for his personal reasons.
Yea I Know...

I went down that road with him once... 🥓
Oh, I am quite familiar with Him. He and I bump heads, as He thinks We must account for the energy We add and I say that is an archaic practice and that money (any form) is dangerous.
I'm an elderly woman in the area of Our planet called "America." Bone spurs in My thumbs rather keep Me from doing work (even typing hurts, and so I could not keep pace at a job requiring typing, or any hand work, really...). And... I want Us all to have Our rightful wealth.
