Become a True Fan

Despite its now obvious (and sometimes tremendous) problems, the power of the internet to democratize creativity, thought, and originality, and to bring people together, is still vast and largely untapped.

In the before times, ideas and messages were gatekept behind numerous nameless, faceless organizatons, but today anyone with a positive message to share can do so by direct interaction with their audience, no middle man required.

To keep that option alive and well, Sumo and Kavi are believers in the “1000 True Fans” model of support.  The idea being that anybody, anywhere, can run an operation if they have at least 1000 True Fans supporting them.

What is a True Fan?  I’m glad you asked.

A True Fan is a supporter willing to purchase whatever content or products you produce and, fantastic news, now you can do (almost) exactly that with the click of a button.

For a low, low price that’s incredibly reasonable and sustainable for the environment (and produces no harmful CFCs), you can become a MAPSOC “True Fan” and get access to all paywalled MAPSOC content and the Telegram Channel for a full year.  WOW! What a bargain!  I love free market capitalism, don’t you?

But, hey, I know what you’re thinking.  You’re thinking, “100 dollars?  Can’t I get access to all the paywalled content, and the telegram channel, by supporting MAPSOC via the Patreon, Gumroad, or Substack routes for slightly cheaper?” And the answer to that is, YES!  of course you can.

What becoming a “True Fan” offers you though, that those other options can simply never do, is the Pride and Satisfaction that comes with knowing big, greedy corporations are getting less of a cut of YOUR MONEY and that you are supporting your creators on YOUR TERMS.

ALSO! Being a “True Fan” comes with a song!  That’s right. All true fans reserve the right to request a ukulele performance from Sumo of the song of their choice (song subject to refusal on grounds of lewd lyrics or similar objections) to be played on the show.
