hi folks! jae here. welcome to the first financial update of 2023! this is a long one with a lot to discuss so strap in. as always, I recommend taking a look at past financial updates for context on terminology and concepts.

first off: where have we been? why has this financial update taken so long to come out?

2023 has been kind of a mess for us thus far. I was unfortunately kind of a non-entity due to health issues (complications from long covid) during the entirety of Q1, meaning that all work I had planned (including revenue-generating work) was automatically delayed. I’m currently the only one who writes these, which means that if I forget or am unable, it doesn’t happen. (we’re working on fixing this part.) I realize this is kind of a non-answer but it’s the truth. I have a bad working memory so sometimes I forget things, like that I need to write the financial update. fellow ADHD-havers will probably understand.

on to the meat!

But one thing I absolutely love is ADS

goons either create creative ads for their weird businesses, or just buy bonkers ads to highlight weird threads/subforums/posts

Here are some that are currently running:

US GOON FUND AD saying "if you don't donate..." and showing a dog giving a side glance to a hand holding a brick

US GOON FUND AD showing two supposedly legendary goon lads. IDK if they're still alive

Text-filled ad for Frugal Usenet. I don't know what that is, but I'm mildly curious

GIF ad for sheepish patio, another forum. Bold choice, advertising on your competitor's site

I wholeheartedly support opening up ads as long as it's for actual people who give a shit about making them amusing and not some business ghouls in a marketing debt
