Ideally, yes, although it’s not currently a priority of mine. I’m working against two trends here. One is the huge trend of decline in blogging accompanied by the rise of social media. The other is the more recent groundswell of a FYPM (fuck you, pay me) ethos, where everybody be monetizing. The upside is that more people are seeing the value in owning their own content, and ideally also, their own domain, platform, etc. The dark side, of course, is that it’s a step even further away from the largely noncommercial Internet I remember so fondly, and is why the word “noncommercial” is in the very title of the present post. Certainly you can’t not have noticed that there are a number of people who have obviously adopted a strict editorial policy of using their social media accounts (or blogs, for that matter) only to post links to content they’ve posted in monetized venues. I vomit just a little every time I see one, although I certainly sympathize with the girl gotta make money sentiment. Monetization is a question for which there are no good answers, and I’ve become convinced that even the theoretical possibility of a good answer does not exist
