@marc I would definitely pay for online events and round-tables for the opportunity to ask questions and pick the brain of people who are successful in their niche, in my view it's very motivating. I also love how you share actionable tips like where to host website and which libraries you use, this saves a lot of time and eliminates decision fatigue))
As for payment I am happy to pay, it is totally worth it and more! But for a person coming from a third world country it might be a bit expensive, especially for people who have potential, but are just starting their career? So, I think inviting people for free based on merit and their fit to the community would be great.
Thanks, yes we're currently excluding a lot of people from different parts of the world.
Part of my response has been that with remote work and the online gig economy, it's becoming a lot easier for any entrepreneurial person to earn some money to afford a $20/mo subscription (e.g. spending 1-2 hours a month on doing gigs on Upwork should cover it), but perhaps that's an overly optimistic view?
Either way, I think having a free-tier would definitely open up to a wider audience. And as long as we make sure we still curate for pasionate, positive and entrepeneurial people, then they should be a value-add to the community regardless of their current discretionary budget.
With regards to the online events, I'll be looking into hopin.com which @marver777 recommended to me a while ago.
