> Author needs money from you but lives in London. Maybe he should move somewhere cheaper

Wow. Is this because I wrote the following on my blog?

"Find video-trimmer-mode useful? Want me to publish to MELPA? Enjoying this blog or my projects? I am an indie dev. Help make my work sustainable by sponsoring.

Need a blog? I can help with that. Maybe buy my macOS/iOS apps too ;)"

Living in London isn't as much of a luxury as living on a personal yacht, but it is something of a luxury for a dev who has choices. I could see weighing it in my sponsorship decisions. As a dev living in a very low density, inexpensive rural area I have more resources for my side projects than otherwise.

If I were buying rather than donating, it wouldn't factor in at all.

I build software. If I build useful things, there's a demand.

TIL where I live is now relevant to some.
