I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

Don't get me started on twitch subs. Supporting a creator you like is fine, but spending 100s of dollars on gift subs is so stupid.

    Subs = subscriptions.

    A sub on Twitch gives you a badge and special emojis on your subbed channel (streamer).

    You also have the option to gift (randomly) 1, 5, 25, 50, 100 subs to random followers (users).

    A sub costs $5 in the US, you can gift 100 subs ($500) if you want to.

    Is that what gift subs are? I’ve never understood that. Is it like a tip?

    Subs are kinda like tip, except you get something in return. Usually its emotes you can use on any stream on twitch. Some streamers can make other stuff like sub only discord channel but its optional.

    Gift subs are exactly the same except you give the benefits to some other chaters.
