Thanks! Yeah this was sort of a quick and dirty keyboard dump to hopefully kick of discussion. I expect some of the points are dead ends or at ends with the platforms goals, problematic to implement, or otherwise non-starters... hopefully some have strong value as things to consider and realize in the future.

I really think there should be some mechanism where I can, despite my poor voting power, contribute greatly to an author if I so chose. Certainly the author could direct us how to do so with a "accepting donations at this address" type of line, but the platform should implement and facilitate this instead I think.
