I've tried that before, but barely anyone donates. People expect the world for free.

    Once something is perceived as free as the internet has been for ever. It is very hard to get people to pay for it.

    I think people will eventually have to get used to paying for things though, if bots / AI / ad blockers kill off the feasibility of online advertising. Either that or everything becoming a freemium service with major limits for free users.
