The creator stays central.
Rory should amplify the person and the work, not make itself the event.
Support deserves a better home.
Creators are asked to publish in one place, talk in another, and send supporters somewhere else to contribute. Rory brings the relationship back together.
The rules we build by.
These principles matter more than a launch slogan. If a feature breaks one, it is the wrong feature.
Generosity is never coerced.
Recognition can feel good. Pressure, panic, and shame do not belong.
Plain terms beat clever claims.
Costs, product limits, and launch status should be easy to find and easy to understand.
We are not trying to be the reason people show up. The creator is. We just make it easier to stay.
