(on edit: I see I did not, so I don't expect to hear a reply about the link you have been asking for) you do seem to actually want to see this, so I found it for you (turns out I was wrong, o well):

Reader-funded journalism
This model is vital in sustaining real journalism: it fosters independence, invests readers in the work that is done, and keeps journalists accountable to individuals

Currently, this is not the conventional way journalism is funded in establishment circles, but I'm convinced it's the better way. For a deeply struggling field, and whether they want it or not, this is the way of the future: the short-term future at that, and I think that's a very positive development. I'm truly appreciative of all readers who spend their time coming here, and grateful for those who in the past have supported the work I do. Those who wish to do so this year can do that here(link).
