Cohost should learn from Something Awful in some of the "bullshit things to buy to support the website". The fools already let us search and post images for free, so can't put that cat back in the bag, and some of the more "PvP" purchase options are probably counter to to the culture, but custom global emotes could work. SA is also a leader in the field of "users buy their own stupid banner ads".
it would also drive site traffic and participation thanks to chosts discussing them
“what does it mean when someone ‘bugs’ you”
“bugs really bug me”
“are bugs flirty?”
then if cohost goes with a tinder style predatory pricing where you get a certain limited number of bugs free but each multiple of $5 for premium unlocks more bugs
im like if a boy was a doll or a bug or a girl or some other thing
