The idea that anyone anywhere in fandom charging money for, or making a profit on, derivative content is going to immediately bring down the wrath of Disney and Make Fandom Illegal Everywhere is preposterous. That is not going to happen. For one thing *people are already charging money for and making a profit on fanworks*. If Disney was out looking for a pretext to ban fandom, they would have more than enough already to do so. The reality is that large companies have no strong incentive or rationale to try to ban fandom, as long as people don't get insanely out of hand with monetization. Someone having a ko-fi on their Tumblr is way, way, way under the line here.

There are good and robust reasons why monetization can't be allowed *on AO3 specifically*. But the idea that ko-fis, or commissions, or projects like physical zines are an existential threat to fandom is ridiculous. It's not 1995.
