I've made just over $6,000 this year from https://swingtradebot.com - my site which allows people to find and track stocks based on technical analysis signals.

That revenue is about 50/50 from Adsense and subscriptions. I made the site freemium in May and subscriptions have become the majority of the revenue the last couple of months. It's currently doing about $1,400/month -- ~$900 from subscriptions and the rest from ads.

I've only ever come across arguments against changing how a webpage responds to scrolling, and I'm curious what's the argument for using something like scrollify?

Must say the algorithm is working better than the common bot. But it still has some work that can be done to make it better.

Net loss in hosting fees.

But hey, it's not even close to being done.
