I'm broke, and have no capacity to make money in a capitalist society. This isn't to say what I do doesn't have value, it's just not valuable to rich people.
Am I just FUBAR in this purely-transactional NWO?
Not necessarily in the fediverse world. If server costs are being covered by donations from 4% of users, a volunteer admin will probably be quite happy whereas a commercial operator will undoubtedly think "damn I have 96% freeloaders, that's leaving money on the table".
Unfortunately I’d say yes.
U ain't got holes?
Edit o man what a comment lol
Those who have money can afford better than what I got.
It's not a matter of having nothing to offer, it's that what I do isn't bought by people with money. Value ≠ What people pay for. Case in point: Funko-Pop figurines.
