Try to buy an ad slot for an ad blocker? (A less tongue-in-cheek option would be to email John, say that you’re blocking ads, and ask if you can donate instead

Try to buy an ad slot for an ad blocker?
(A less tongue-in-cheek option would be to email John, say that you’re blocking ads, and ask if you can donate instead. If enough people ask he might put up a form?)
- Marsymars 11mo agoIs there anything like gofundme, but for long-running projects? e.g. “Collect money indefinitely to gofundme escrow until the total is sufficient to buy a daringfireball ad slot.”
- pferde 11mo agoThere is always Patreon and other sites in that style. I support several content creators, both technical and nontechnical, with small monthly payments there.
- inesranzo 11mo agoThis is the best model IMO as it supports creators directly and not the advertisers. If Daring Fireball had this membership subscription model and not selling highly and questionably expensive ad slots I would definitely subscribe, even if the price would be $20 a month or $200 a year. (I would argue he can make more than he charges for ads does already given this model.) But $11K (a week!) is outrageous to support Daring Fireball.
