Hey everyone, since total cumulative donations for the last 3 months were less than $200 (~ $60/month), even though PornLemmy has an average of 250k uniques per month with peaks of 300k+, I have dropped plans for improvements (new frontend + backend tweaking) and will only spend $60/month worth of time and resources on PL. I won't put ads or gather personal data for profit, but I am open to selling to someone who will. Imagining zero growth, I'm targeting an ARPU of $0.005 amortized over one year, BTC. You can contact me at pornlemmy@gmx.com .

Just made requested account on pornlemmy, I will promptly delete after reading that you'd be willing to sell to advertisers

Yes, that's what happens when users don't support the platform. With Lemmy, there's an unspoken convention that admins make their site available to users with the same stability and performance as the big names but without any of the bad parts like tracking or ads, and the users donate to keep it that way. The PornLemmy team has done its part, but out of the 300,000 users only a single digit have shown support, so it is a you reap what you sow situation.

Unpopular opinion: Lemmy instances like this one should have ads.
