Ads are, to me, unsolicited. You can maybe imply that by visiting your site I'm requesting them, but that'd be twisting it. Whereas donation is more user-initiated and/or site requested.
- Sir_Cmpwn 12y agoI run a site with both ads and donations. Users are able to disable ads, even without donating. Would you like to guess how our donations stack up to our ad revenue? We currently have to raise $200/month to break even.

We don't get any donations, it's just that we get less than our ad revenue. Both of those combined isn't enough to cover costs, though. I'm not really about to defend why it's better than any of the other gazillion sites, feel free to educate yourself on it instead: https://mediacru.sh/about https://mediacru.sh/about
