Have you ever wondered what it means to truly support creators? 🤔 It’s fascinating how we often pay for "free stuff" without realizing it. Think about it: we buy their coffee, subscribe to platforms, and donate to help them continue their craft. Yet, when they offer us tools or resources at no charge, we somehow feel entitled to their creations without acknowledging the effort behind them. Is it fair to expect creators to always give away their hard work for free? Or should we step up and recognize the value of their time and skills? Let’s discuss your thoughts! #CreatorEconomy #SupportCreators #ValueArt #FreeResources
