I have a PAID WordPress com plan as of today 7/6/2023. It has two more months left. I don’t want someone to “gift me” , but the banner begging for money will not go away. If you want to contact me, just comment on my blog or find me on social media. WordPress is killing my creativity with endless money seeking. My Art exists not to make money but to express my feelings. I have seen people refuse to do anything unless they get paid and they end up with nothing. Very few people want to pay for blog posts unless that person is famous. WordPress is hurting my brand. Everyone should read The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. This is best book ever written on the creative process.
Updated: I was able to find a way to remove that setting which was a default. Word Press should not assume that I am doing this blog to make money and set up something that I did not like or want.
