In 2021 I'm allocating $100/month towards sponsoring programmers and other content creators.
Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed it took me this long. For years, I've enjoyed directly supporting artists on Bandcamp; this is an extension of the same principle.

Growing up in the 2000s, piracy felt like a practical--and moral!--necessity. I wasn't able to buy the content I wanted, and even if I could, 90% of it would go to some giant faceless record company or bloated game studio anyway. So why bother?

Thankfully, today we have many ways to pay creators directly. And once you have the option of doing so, the morality of piracy flips: you're not sticking it to the man, you're biting the hand that feeds you.
