This doesn’t sound like what you were describing as a strategy before. Now you’re saying you have the same sites unblocked. In your previous comment, you advised that if the content is good, you can unblock ads then. That is what I said is a common trope, but is an inconvenience, hard to remember, and likely not done by many if any people. You don’t appear to do it either. Same with your tip jar. You say small sites which isn’t wrong. However in your case you’re only topping the same 2 dozen sites you go to. Not every site or app has the same engagement necessities. If a site can be visited much less but is very helpful, it’ll likely get much less tip money than a less helpful but regularly visited site that gets your dopamine going. I’m not saying this as fact. It’s something I believe could be true with no backing.
