More than half of the paid time I've had on DW has been donated to me by others, mostly Support and similar volunteers who get paid time for the work they do, sometimes style designers who also get paid time, etc.
I think my current paid is the second, maybe third time that I've actually paid myself (did it for 6 months, Xmas present to myself), and I've been paid pretty much since open beta started. OK, I know I'm an edge case and I have lots of friends in support and similar, but...
There are so many ways of working around this, Support can help, LJ Sec can help, asking friends can help, and I feel it's such an edge case that really does hit the server, that I just can't support it myself.
