  • It’s not a big deal but I personally don’t agree. If I’m using an instance and I appreciate their work I donate money to them. There is nothing wrong with them making a profit or even a living off the site if I enjoy it and it guarantees it’s maintenance and upkeep.

    The harsh reality is that Reddit users created the situation to a degree over there. Any attempts Reddit made to try to make a profit were basically shot down.

    Any kind of public ledger is going to do is open up every fucking person’s judgment as to how the money is being spent. Even if you just have 5,000 users there’s no way you’re going to get any two retards to actually agree what’s appropriate and how do we ever decide what their compensation for their time should be? Is that up to us to say?

    If you like the site just donate it. It’s no different than giving money to a homeless person. It ain’t your job to decide how they want to spend it. If you want to give them a meal then give them a meal but if you want to give them five bucks then don’t give a shit whether they go by a bottle of liquor or a sandwich. Just do your good deed and move on…

    A well-made instance should charge an annual per user fee and I don’t give a shit what they do with it as long as I feel like the site is being developed and maintained well.
