> Pixeldrain is now funded by patrons on Patreon. It's working quite well so far.
I'm glad it's working for you. The internet really needs a better business model than advertising. I always mention patronage as an alternative and it's awesome to see successful examples.
Definitely! I really despise ads. I'm really happy this business model is working out. Even if only one in 200 people join the Patreon it's plenty to be profitable.
Ads were fine until they started to get wild (popups, redirectors, malware, worms and the list goes on) then everybody started using adblockers or else internet browsing was completely impossible. So ads killed the ads market. Now subscriptions are going in the same direction, pay a subscription for an app or service i will use once in a while? No thanks I’ll find another way to do it.
