Honestly nah. Not likely. My site is already ad free and invasive tracking free so I have no real reason to join and I don't believe anyone donates money like that. Not in high enough numbers to be worth noticing anyway. You might get the odd nerd that's like "hmmmm well acktuallllly, I .." but they've donated like a fiver across the year I wouldn't sign up as a user either if I'm honest. I'd just go read some other blog if it was paywalled and wouldn't notice a donate link if it wasn't I do like the idea as an idea, I just don't think the world will do anything with it. This idea plus a better funding model than donations and we're at a maybe but even then I dunno if I could be arsed. That sounds like a lot of squeeze for minimal juice

Thanks for that honest feedback! I know that most people probably wouldn't pay for that, though it seems that micro-donations in the style of Patreon or Github Sponsorships are on the rise, so maybe that could work in the privacy space too.

  No problem! Please never don't take my opinion as damnation or anything! I'm not the target market for most things, this could be one of them If I were in your position I might get started by looking into the web3 blockchain hype. Built in superfan audience and might be niche enough to get you started ("the blogging platform of Web 3.0!" or something). I'd also look at web-1.0 webrings to find any pitfalls and shortcuts there, structurally your idea sounds similar to that plus payments You might be positioned nicely there at a hunch, but I don't know any more about it other than it exists! :) However things unfold, best of luck to this and any future projects!

    I just realised I wrote "please never don't" there Substitute with "please don't" or "please never", I appear to have combined the two and double negative'd myself.
