Key quote: “”” over the last three years, the source of funds on the platform shifted majorly from small donations to added funds. A mechanism that was originally an unplanned “add-on” became the main source of our revenue, shifting our incentives and, slowly, our strategy, in a way that we did not plan for, and I failed to predict.
