Minds is a whole other world. You earn Minds tokens, which you can theoretically convert to cash. But, with ETH transactions costing an arm and a leg, it's better to use the tokens to boost your content.

You can earn fiat if you subscribe to Minds+ or Minds Pro. Once your account reaches $100, they'll deposit your earnings in your bank account. But, it's not easy to earn. I get maybe $0.20 per Minds+ post, occasionally more. You'd have to be really popular to earn more there than here on Hive.

On the other hand, they do give you the option to do subscriptions like Patreon, paid in tokens or fiat. But, again, you'd have to be popular to have the numbers of people willing to subscribe to your channel.

Minds is less focused on earning. Many of the people there are refugees who have been booted off other platforms. For them, it's more about being able to express an opinion.

I pay for Minds Pro on one account. It's $480/yr https://www.minds.com/pro I do it mostly for the hosting service for my domain https://rgv.media

I mainly use Minds because of the taboo against multiple posts per day here on Hive. Nobody cares or calls you out for posting too much on Minds.

Another reason I pay for Minds is that the Minds+ posts aren't viewable for non-subscribers. It's a way for me to post stupid or opinionated things out of the general public view. Or, I could create a subscription tier to hide posts.

Despite their tolerance, there is a line you can cross to get you booted off Minds. But, you'd have to be a serious knob to cross it.
