random question. (be honest i don’t mind).
if i were to add donations/paid tier/merch to wasteof, would anybody be willing to actually donate? would pay for domain, hosting, infra, etc. fees.
yes, i would donate ($10+)
I would donate but only if I get sometimes in return (eg. profile badge, merch, or premium site features)
i might donate
i would never donate (this is totally fine)

There’s a case to be made for importance within that active core community; something about unfiltered conversation without underlying motivations of profit.
When I say “in the way Wikipedia does,” I don’t mean Wikipedia and wasteof offer the same sort of value. I mean that the case could be made in a way that explains why wasteof is important, how wasteof aims to improve and continue to be important, and what (money) wasteof needs to achieve this.
Ah, okay, I misunderstood your comment. That's completely reasonable. I'd love to see some sort of public roadmap for the platform too. As far as money, I think it could be explained that donations/merch would help cover server costs and help out jeffalo since he singlehandedly builds the platform.
