I think this all makes sense and this site is worth it. In the grand scheme of things tons of people pay about as much for their daily coffee as it costs for a full month of access to all of the incredible information this site provides. And, as we all hope to be paid artists after film school (etc etc), we should be supportive of you earning something for all of your hard work too.

Honestly, almost literally all of the Supporting Membership money currently goes to paying our wonderful writers and developers but thank you for your praise! It makes me so happy that people are finding the site useful and helpful. :)
