Is there anything like gofundme, but for long-running projects? e.g. “Collect money indefinitely to gofundme escrow until the total is sufficient to buy a daringfireball ad slot.”
There is always Patreon and other sites in that style. I support several content creators, both technical and nontechnical, with small monthly payments there.
This is the best model IMO as it supports creators directly and not the advertisers.
If Daring Fireball had this membership subscription model and not selling highly and questionably expensive ad slots I would definitely subscribe, even if the price would be $20 a month or $200 a year. (I would argue he can make more than he charges for ads does already given this model.)
But $11K (a week!) is outrageous to support Daring Fireball.
