Rationale
GitHub Sponsors is a platform for financially supporting open-source developers and projects. It focuses on monetary contributions to software development, which is distinct from an online publishing platform for writers and readers. None of the features, such as a rich text editor, content distribution, or reader engagement metrics, are present as the core offering is not content publishing.
