Thank You For Your Consideration
Although artificial intelligence makes maintaining this site a lot easier, it still takes many hours and dollars to keep it operational.
Currently there is no benefit for subscribing other than the satisfaction of know you contributed and my gratitude. I do plan on creating special content that is only available to supporters and there will not be a difference in access to content between the different tiers. Content that is created from publicly available media will always be free.
