We’re dropping Google Ads

When I had donate buttons, I literally had someone tell me I was panhandling the internet. Tip jars are a better way to signal "It took work to create value here and compensation is appreciated." It has gotten a very different response from people.

I am glad your strategy is working for you. But, if you are interested:

Thanks for the link. I may give this a try and see if people use it. I think I have more drive-by readers than regulars, so this probably makes more sense than Patreon.

BTW, kudos for writing the "Survival Guide." I ran across it at random awhile ago, and it has some great advice.

It would be great to hear (via email) if the tip jar works for you. So far the only data I have is my own.
