If you don’t want to be the product, then you pay. Giving 1¢ for a funny or helpful comment is a great thing. Maybe you should consider why you have a negative association with money and where it comes from.
Where does it come from? The Bible and Jewish Power. How is it a great thing to give someone a penny for a post? Likes and Shares are way more meaningful than a quick act of receiving a penny lol
