I pay $300/year for the privilege of being able to write what I want without the pressure to monetize or surveil my readers.

Some of my blog posts are linked by programming language docs for cryptography. Others have helped queer folks transition to a higher-paying tech career.

It's difficult to quantify either of those things in a dollar value. I've opted to not ever do so. But if I can make the AI slop machines pay to view my furry/tech ramblings, I will do enthusiastically.

that $300 sounds more like a personal choice when you can do it for ~free, e.g. with GitHub pages or similar.
