Glad I can donate now, this site has given me hours of news and entertainment. No advertising is smart, and keeping it decentralized. You add advertisers then you are beholden to them. Keep it all anonymous and voluntary. Love it! And the site growing isn't bad either!
I don't understand why people can't just watch/listen to what they like, and keep their mouth shut if they don't. Everyone likes different things, and they are all pushing the cause. I don't know why everyone has to do these football team type debates with their favorite podcaster. This false loyalty, like they give a shit about you.
Adding advertisers makes you beholden to them, as well as their baggage... Look at Crowder with Black Rifle Coffee. I'd rather throw out some coin then see ads all over the place. Donate with Brave if you want to see some ads.
