I'd like to get to a point where it brings in more than it costs to run. As right now, I'm spending out of pocket, similarly to how the Homebrew Appstore CDN runs. The <a class="plugin-mentions-group plugin-mentions-a" href="/groups/hide-bdns-ads">@<bdi>Hide-BDNS-Ads</bdi></a> should be enough to handle annoying ad complaints though, while their performance is evaluated.</p>
<p dir="auto">At some point in the future I can write more specifics about the cash flow for transparency, but we're not there yet. (In other words, "how much do I make from ads?" -&gt; well $0, since there hasn't even been a payout cycle yet). But it'd be nice if the infrastructure here were self-sustaining in the long term.</p>

<p dir="auto">But please feel free to join <a class="plugin-mentions-group plugin-mentions-a" href="/groups/hide-bdns-ads">@<bdi>Hide-BDNS-Ads</bdi></a> ! I won't feel less supported. Also, if anyone <em>does</em> want to directly support me, I have a Ko-fi: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/vgmoose" rel="nofollow ugc">https://ko-fi.com/vgmoose</a></p>
<p dir="auto">Ideally either through ads or some other monetization strategy we can find a way to get support for BDNS long term. I don't think whether an individual user turns on adblock or not should make a big difference in that calculation. The forum has a lot of signed-out traffic as well, from external visitors landing here from Google, for instance.</p>
