Elsewhere, on another site, I read this. It was talking about that other site (which is a no-subscription-required site, like IMAO). Seemed to make sense.
A web site that depends on 100% voluntary donations [or no donations at all] has much more flexibility than a web site that requires a mandatory payment.
Such a site has very limited legal liability.
If a monthly subscription is required, the site is instantly vulnerable to:
copyright lawsuits [because they’re making money off others’ work]
libel lawsuits, and
hate speech lawsuits that result in injury or damage.
Lawyers. God love ’em.
Which is a no-subscription-required site, like IMAO)?
Then who the heck is the IMAO Intern lady named Betty Brown 🤎 who’s been charging me 40 bucks a month?
Don’t know, she isn’t on the approved list.
Lawyer, talk? Let me know if you ever find one who doesn’t…
I imagine our interns are flexible enough, paid or unpaid. They’re liable to give a speech about how much they hate things like lawsuits. And as long we keep them away from the livestock and motorpool, there should be no injuries or damage.
