That's a fair point but on the other hand I've been at Miraheze for almost 8 years and having such a huge operation rely on a few unpaid volunteers isn't realistic in the long term and people burnout, lose interest or both. There's also the anxiety of knowing that the fate of the farm depends on a yearly (or even more frequent) fundraiser.

These are problems that all small nonprofits face. I would love to pay people, but even having a commercial model doesn’t mean you escape questions about funding and staffing.

I agree with both. Hence I think it's better to have a legal structure which is flexible enough to allow multiple funding models.
