honestly all of the "here's my great idea for how to monetize cohost!" posts are patronizing as fuck and someone needs to say it
even as someone who generally DOESN'T give the staff of this site that much credit i guarantee they have already discussed literally every idea y'all have thrown at them
they already know they could run ads, they already know they could do fundraisers, they already know what their options are. this shit is like someone being diagnosed with an illness and everyone around them who has never had the illness telling them all of their great remedies they heard about on facebook. this is like when someone who has been blind their whole life tells you what they need for accessibility and people who didn't even know screen readers existed until two seconds ago start giving them advice on how to live life as a blind person.
i think the most sympathetic i've ever been to the staff is imagining them right now looking through these comments where people keep going "you could always do this!" "what about that?" as if the people who have been running a money-losing website for this long hadn't once ever thought about running ads. some of the suggestions are things they even ADDRESS IN THE POST.
i can't believe i of all people am saying this but like please give them some credit and stop doing this i cannot imagine how much your attempts to be helpful are just kicking them while they're down. at least if you're gonna kick them while they're down do it on purpose.
