Reprise: Why do you donate?

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

Back in March 2011, aldersprig launched a discussion, "Why do you donate?"  Given our recent discussions about patrons, this seemed like a useful topic to revisit.  You can look at the previous post or just start fresh here.  If you're a patron, you can talk about your spending habits.  If you're both patron and creator, you might contrast your experiences across the two modes.  What makes you click that "donate" button?

I have nowhere near the skills for making a ticker, alas. I'll be lucky if I can paste one in and have it work right.

As I said below I would be happy to take a crack at making you one, along with instructions on how to update it. I can quote you a price if you can provide a description. So PM me if you'd like to talk shop!

Hmm...

I think I'll pass for now, though I do appreciate the offer. Computer stuff has a tendency to crash on me. I managed to get one of the free tickers to work as a sample, so I'm going to give that a try in my next fishbowl and see if it'll work for real.

That's fine. I love the one you chose, actually, swim little fishy, swim!
