      creators can sell content via subscription and they call the feature “the fanzone”

      MFs really brought onlyfans to winamp but for music.

        Isn’t that essentially what Patreon is for though? How is it different (other than I assume no ‘bonus content’ for your sub)?

      I miss the time of the late 90’s - early 00’s when creators threw their products out on the web for all to use freely. Products like this (and DBAN, etc) were the only way many of us could truly enjoy and use what the world wide web had to offer without the intrusion of Micro$oft and Apple gatekeepers’ monetization.

      *sigh

        It’s our own fault for not paying for that WinRAR license. I’m pretty sure that when the sun explodes there will be somebody out there on day 5,576,456,245 of their 30-day trial ;-)
