This isn’t Quaker but it feels really relevant for those of us trying to save independent publishing from being subsumed by the Facebook Borg and so maintain countercultural, non-corporate spaces like Quaker communities.

This is a prediction for 2019 and beyond: The most powerful and interesting media model will remain raising money from members who don’t just permit but insist that the product be given away for free. The value comes not just what they’re buying, but who they’re buying it from and who gets to enjoy it.
