You could always have bought the content, and given it away for free. People need to eat and pay the rent yo. I am fully supportive of anyone who wants to Kickstart content corpus purchases and then give that to the Internet Archive for WayBack inclusion.

People complain about ads on a website and how they have to use an ad-blocker and then the complain when they put stuff behind a paywall. Can't have it both ways, people deserve to be paid for good journalism.

  Popup ad blocking is not the problem. There's no need for popup ads at all - its a scummy practice.

    I didnt mention pop up ads, just ads.

      Do ad blockers block non-popup ads?
      - ProAm 9y ago
        Yes

  To be honest, those who use ad blockers most likely are not the target audience for an ad payer.
