For me the sentiment of #paytospeak is that as a speaker, I should pay close
attention how accessible it is for other speakers (especially of
underrepresented groups, unexperienced, or low income) to be able to speak at a
certain conference.

An important factor to this is also the economic goal of the conference. There
are many great conference I'm going to which don't ask for insane ticket prices.

#PaytoSpeak also is about creating awareness that we limit diversity in speaker
panels, because it's very easy to chip in the resources to speak at any given
conf as white male with high-income.
We are the easy choice for conference organizers. Think about this privilege!
