I generally don't make donations for reasons, but intend to correct that long term with better income. Considering I block ads indiscriminately for privacy reasons and their distractive nature, of course it's against my interest for the site to become more reliant on more extreme ads in a death spiral. So, I hope my contribution helps and encourages others to consider donating as well. Cheers guys.
As an aside, I avoid auto-recurring subscriptions like a plague, but luckily there are manual 3 month and 1 year variants on the upgrades page, albeit the lower tier isn't available this way.
