Definitely! I personally welcome more paid communities as a de facto spam/abuse/troll/commitment filter.

I'm interested both as a participant and as... let's call it what a positive mental-health online community looks like post FB/IG/TikTok.

edit/ more actionable feedback: while I am interested, there's a misalignment between "lightweight commitment for me to check this community out" and "pay $50 to peek into something I'm not sure is right _for me_". For example, the cost of many communities is "create an account" and that seems like a high bar for most people in itself.
