i was thinking you could do ads for people not signed in, then no ads for people logged in

then for people logged in/signed up you could do discord style nitro benefits, fancy name tag, just extra stuff that supporters can get to show their support for the place

but in isolation no good because what's to stop another instance just giving it away all for free? it's like the place is self undermining, it's the most cut throat environment to be in while being worse to work for than any it slave pen, at least at the end of the work week you get paid, here you'd be expected to work for free :\
