I was the one who wrote that response so I'll give my honest input. I don't have any problems with ads on a website. I do however have problems with them taking over my phone and browser and for that reason alone I won't be using the site. If you can find a way to put up ads around the content I'm fine with that.
As far as donations, gofundme, whatever, that's again entirely up to you. I can understand possibly needing help to fund the site. Doing it thru donations still gives the user a choice in the matter instead of being violated by popups without warning.
With all of that being said I think that if you want to be a contributor to the movement then do it from your own pocket to the best of your ability. If that isn't an option pass the torch to someone who can. It should not be a burden on you financially. We ALL appreciate what anons have done, and continue to do, so sincerely thank you for all your hard work.
