Funding - offer free and membership versions

[John Robi]

Suggest you offer a "sponsored" (aka "free") email version (with ads) and a "membership" (aka paid and no ads) version. Given you are up to 50K users with some pretty clear liberal demographics, you might be able to get some decent ad dollars to offset your costs. I would be fine seeing ads in my free version. Many advertisers would kill for the inventory you have, and I expect it will grow substantially as word spreads.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sponsorships and advertising are not on the table at this time. I believe we can make this work via reader support. 👍
