@Ashoka While it is preferable to keep the advertising and marketing to a minimum, it does ultimately still cost money to host these websites. Things cost money, so eventually the money has to come from somewhere.

@Ashoka god bless Kickstarter / Patreon / etc for making crowdfunding easy, socially acceptable, and commonplace. Fuck monetization, go community support 💞
Patreon did for small-community infrastructure projects what Bitcoin did for malware.
