I’m fairly new and don’t 100% understand it yet, but instances are run on servers that require money. Are we heading towards seeing ads or subscriptions to raise funds instead of relying on donations to cover overhead?

Especially with the influx of new users. Hardware upgrades are needed.

    Reminds me of anti-piracy perceptions. People are always like ‘i bought the album to support the artist’ which is great, sure, but they act like torrenting the album and just sending the artist the price of the album directly isn’t an option when it always is. Artists will always accept a donation.
