They can send XMR directly to the address of the creator. Why would you prefer an intermediary? I don’t think that recurrent payments, initiated by the platform, are possible. So I can’t quite see the benefits of introducing a middle man?

It’s that easy if you pretend the first figure is the start of the story!

I’d mostly agree that suffering invades your mind without your desire for it to happen.

But so does pleasure, surprise, beauty. Those too can’t be forced to happen, they’re discovered.

That’s a modern narative to misattribute or harness a way earlier pain.
