There's a way. I will find it. The content is worth not having ads.

The content is worth not having ads.

I'm having trouble parsing that sentence. What do you mean?

Do you mean that the content is so important that you are happy to subsidise the publication? Or the content isn't worth bothering with ads for?

I think he means that he values the content so highly that he'd rather not tarnish it with advertisement.

Perhaps subscriptions would be a better way to get reliable revenue?

congrats on reaching this far.

many successful projects on kickstarter or indiegogo began with inviting a small strong userbase to support them for a "new xyz", donation drive with a big vision or ...something else you've always wanted for your community.

i recommend starting with a mailing list if you don't have one already, then saving to get a nice video done with your vision/crowded funded project.
