- modeless 4y agoIf you don't mind me asking, what's your day job?
- cyrux004 4y agocheck his profile by clicking on id full stack developer per his home page
- modeless 4y agoIt's clear that he is a (very good!) full-stack developer. I am curious about where he works, or if he is retired or something, living off investments while working on SteamDB full time. I think very few people would knowingly turn down income of a million dollars per year. In fact I'd say it's a privilege to be in a position to be able to turn that down. I even see some people here who are asking him to make the income even though he doesn't want it so he can give it to a charity.
- giancarlostoro 4y agoI wouldnt be surprised if you could easily work out some sort of deal with Steam, if a game page from your site leads to a buy on their end they give you a small percentage.
- tehlike 4y agoAs some others have said, affiliate is the way to go. You are already driving sales... Should be fair to you to get compensated.
- matheusmoreira 4y agoAgree. Valve should probably find a way to compensate him. I've spent money on Steam because of his site.
- xd1936 4y agoLegendary.
- 1270018080 4y agoI'll do it?
- nchudleigh 4y agoWould be dope to monetize the traffic and donate it or support indie game projects.
- sswezey 4y agoThank you!
- i4i 4y agoI hate ads too. The thing I tried that felt ethical and useful was an affiliate code for related (to the content) products that would split the discount 50/50 between me and readers. I stated this clearly in the ad.
- richardjennings 4y agoCan I ask if you might consider leveraging your position to aid a charity ?
- skeeter2020 4y agoThis isn't a cost-free proposition. "giving away" money is a lot of work; leveraging an asset into money to donate is even more.
- richardjennings 4y agoAgreed. Knowing the opportunity cost must weigh heavily. Bytes and Food. The new boots and cats.
- zamadatix 4y agoSeems like the service itself is his choice of charity.

- dimgl 4y agoYou're an absolute beast. Nice.
- lawrenceyan 4y agoValve should just acquire you to be honest.
- KomoD 4y agoNo they should not, because they'd kill it or remove features, and god knows what else.
- pavo-etc 4y agoDoes steam have some sort of affiliate link program? If they don't they should.
- wly_cdgr 4y agoExtremely baller
- trungdq88 4y agoWould you share more with us about the reason why you're not monetizing it?
- stOneskull 4y agokudos, mate
- Ruthalas 4y agoMany of us appreciate both the service and lack of ads. Thank you for both.
