It’s great that Marco has made enough money previously to do this. Most other indie developers or even companies can’t. So while this is great, it won’t spread. I’d also argue this is not novel.
$1/month is not novel. Price the app and take your money.
This model helps no one but developers like Arment.
given the patronage model to fund creators is well, millennia old, I’m not exactly sure how it is now “novel”.
