I think anyone that innovative definitely deserves to bee (see what I did there!) supported, and often, the more boutique products that are made without the input of large corporations are the ones that taste better, so are always worth paying more for. Plus, as you said, you’re supporting someone such as Rolf, and if you happen to get a unique story to share, then even better too.

I get what you’re saying about people not really making it to the end of posts anymore. I often wonder if anyone even reads them sometimes. Curation trails are good in a world where people just want to set and forget, but they seem to remove the need to actually interact with the platform. I’m not sure how you feel about it, but I find that a thoughtful comment tells me my post has been read and really appreciated and, for me, that is often times more valuable than an upvote.
