Too many on here are still enjoying free beer. Time to step up, fuckos. Even an unemployed and unemployable like me can chip in a few bucks.

I thought you drove for Uber. You fucking lied to me.

I wouldn't call that employment.

I go to bed late, wake up late, stay in bed, masturbate a lot, finally roll out of bed around 1 PM, go to the fridge (shower is optional most days), eat some moldy cheese, and finally around 3 PM I fire up the app. I do maybe two short rides a day and it's back home for cheap beer and some more masturbation.

Advertising based model will be a big downgrade in my estimation....unless you can somehow find a couple purple unicorns that aren't lame and don't give a shit about the fuckery that goes on here. We don't want to be like some crappy conservative talk radio host shilling for sleep number beds, gold and prepper supplies.

The solution remains for people to be better poasters (i.e., improved content) and for the parsimonious bastards to open up their piggy banks and pull out a shit ton of dimes.

This. You wouldn’t want to set up adchoices because programattic buys would put a bunch of bullshit on here OR porn ads because they are re-marketing or behavioral targeting the fuck sticks on here.

I’d say you hardcode a few spots into your pages and find a few “purple unicorns” to drop 5k a month.

They would likely need to be comfortable with their brand associated with this shit so there in lies a challenge.

As my thought process comes full circle maybe talk with categories that can’t advertise where ever they want. Guns, weed, nudy cams, all of the industries blocked by google and fb. Those fuckers would see our content and site and feel it was an appropriate audience.

Then mix in an option for getting husky gear and I think you could easily find 4-5 suckers. Based on site traffic, 5k might be a stretch but reminding them it’s your exclusive (used loosely) audience and this is the only way to get it. Might need to sweeten the pot with a monthly news letter with BRIEF sponsored content from the sponsors and logos on signs created for any events.

Watch out now...

Derek, are there enough free loaders left to get to the $15k a year range on the annual drive?

Not at 25 bucks per. I think we hit 8K last year but that was on the strength of a BUNCH of Wigwams. We are 54 Wigwams short of 15K, and last year was by far our best year ever for donations. We need to double the user base to make that happen, plus have a small uptick in user giving rates. Some people, whom I love, actually give more than the $129 Wam level donation, which helps a bunch as well.


edit: We have 63 Wigwams now, but a handful of those are freebies given out to people who do a bunch of other stuff for the site. So figure about 60 Wigwams. We need to double that. And the year before I think we had like 43 Wigwams, so we went up markedly last year already. Doable I guess, but going to take more fans of the site. And if we could get a few of the free beer fucks to pony up that would be great as well.

Chinned for proper use of "whom".

In all seriousness, I don't understand not donating to a site that has so much entertainment value. Most of us spend a shit ton of time on here for a reason. We get something out of it. So chip in, fuckers.

I plan on donating a little more this year.
