Ted Talk Feature: ‘What obligations to social media platforms have to the greater good?’ by Eli Parser

Edgar Benjamin @BMC November 9, 2019

Poignant Ted talk on the power of virtual spaces: “What obligations to social media platforms have to the greater good?” by Eli Pariser. My take: I hear you, Eli, but it’s not so easy to do the right thing when the competition is infinitely more resources. These “virtuous” spaces still require resources, and there isn’t […]

New URLs for BuyMeCoffee.co

Edgar Benjamin @BMC October 14, 2019October 8, 2019

Just a quick PSA for Buy Me Coffee members! Buy Me Coffee now works with www.buymetea.com and www.mydeal.page. That means BMC users can alternatively use buymetea.com or mydeal.page for their public profile links. Case in point: buymetea.com/spiritoftonystark and mydeal.page/spiritoftonystark. We figured buymetea.com might be more appropriate if you are sensitive to caffeine/don’t drink coffee. 😉 […]

Buy Me Coffee TM is a blogging and podcasting platform helping regular people share their experiences more openly to their most devoted friends and supporters. We do this through a “personal paywall” and a pledge to not sell advertising or our users’ data, and that’s where the confusion begins… When we describe the concept of […]

What Is BMC?

Buy Me Coffee™ adds friction back to social networks by creating a personal paywall. We believe that what we are getting for “free” on social media now is far from what we should be getting.

But what if "following" someone were a lot more meaningful? By creating a personal paywall for online media, BMC aims to Make the Internet Great Again™.
