I'm not voracious by any means but recently I have been enjoying combining a book with my other hobbies. Sitting outside tending the grill? Grab a few pages. Going on a weekend camping trip? Might as well bring a novel along. Change of pace / scenery from hectic daily life also seems important to this.

Sorry, I don't use wefwef. In the main browser, you can navigate to the community and the "block" button is right below the "subscribe" option.
Near as I can tell, there are certain communities that have a "rule" that every time you browse that community, you must post something before you leave. This leads to a lot of low effort shitposting that I guess some people find fun but I just blocked those communities so my /All feed wasn't cluttered.
I don't love this example because enjoyment of the object isn't really a cost. If I buy a book or a videogame or a movie, the time it takes to enjoy the media is the value, not the cost.
If you're talking about maintenance and upkeep on your car, that is a different type of cost that has to be weighed against the cost and time expenditure of a bus pass or whatever your alternative was.
In other words I feel like this is a catchy phrase that kind of falls apart once you start to dig at it.
I feel like there's a lot more to this than "pay it twice". If you're talking purely in dollars, then you'll want to consider maintenance and upkeep over the expected lifetime of the object and compare that to alternatives. Additionally, everything has an opportunity cost because no resource is limitless and you could have allocated it elsewhere. Finally, emotional and other intangible benefits are something that most people have a very difficult time quantifying.
If you want to say "consider more than just the purchase price" then I'm with you.
I'm not certain all that is necessary but I agree there should be no more than one active vote at a time and it should be pinned to the top. It's quite easy to miss what's going on if you don't happen to log in every day.
I agree with the spirit of this 100% and will support any way I can. I only hope the implementation is free of trolls, bots, and other bad actors.
I don't love this idea either but let's tone the hostility down eh? Got a friendly community here, let's keep it that way.
If all you're trying to do is limit bots and trolls, just make your $10 a required donation to help with hosting costs. I'm sorry but this sounds like yet another blockchain solution in search of a problem.
And who decides what counts as bad behavior worth forfeiting funds? Sounds ripe for corruption.
This is hugely personal to your own interests. Personally I am subscribed to communities around news, science, gaming, whiskey, and my favorite sports team. You can always use the community browser to look for something specific or just keep an eye on the "all" listing to see if something catches your eye.

Honorable mention for 11 but all of these are fantastic. Great job by the artists.
