There are no adds on this site. So who pays for it?

When the site started, Idk, five years ago, Magnora7, said there would never be any ads on here and he has been right so far. But where is M7 now?

Also, SaidIt co-founder /u/d3rr covered significant costs, not to mention in the footer at the bottom of every SaidIt page you may DONATE cryptocurrencies or on Patreon, as many have.

Plus, soon I'll post new /s/Cassy developments about fundraising to pay for professional sysadmins to set up a few decentralized instances to start, and with success several more to federate and play with. I won't begin fundraising until everything is 100% certain. Based in Windsor, my name will register these sites which will be openly self-managed with bottom-up regulation by the community, rather than top-down - as examples to the world of ethical alternatives and solutions. The Windsor/Toronto admins and coders will remain generally anonymous for their own reasons. In Windsor we now have a second VPS to play with, more indie-servers to set up, and hopefully our local instances may be catalysts for the network to grow so that anyone may join and spread federated free-thinking and decentralized truth-seeking around the world.

Respect, man. This is a great endeavor.

And thanks for all that Jason. Good on you.

I've been responsible for promoting the site and getting donations too for a while now. My accounts started being heavily targetted because I actually thought of pretty crazy and neat ideas to get a lot of attention.

Respect to you from Halifax, Jason. You and I probably wouldn't agree too much on our political opinions, but I'd have a beer with you anytime and discuss them regardless.

His legs must be those of a god by now.

Have you ever seen the legs of a hamster ? Or an army of hamsters ? Furiously spinning to keep this site up ?

Godspeed to them.

Supposedly donations. Either way its magnora7, its his site. According to ex site administrator D3rr, the hosting is $80/month

If a product is free, you are the product.

[–]Chipit 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

But nobody's selling anything here.

Well yeah, this is a free speech experiment for some funders and a daycare centre for others. The people who don't pay are the subjects or the entertainment.

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

hmyes my profile related to nobody IRL and not watching ads is surely valuable

The jews are behind everything.

[–]LordoftheFlies 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

But if that's true, then the Jews are behind the Jews, who are behind the Jews, who are behind Jews, who are...

sigh

It's just turtles Jews all the way down, isn't it?

[–]Alienhunter[S] 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Well you see, when a mommy Jew and a daddy Jew hold up a chair above their head and dance around, a baby Jew is sent from heaven and sits on the chair.

Baby Jews are hard to tell apart from the adults because they come fully bearded, which is why it's vitally important to give out the yamulkas to the boy babies and toss them in wicker baskets before the Pharo notices.

Found the jew.

[–]Chipit 3 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 4 fun -  (3 children)

LOLOLOLLOLLLZZZZZ!!!! ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the Jews aren't behind Saidit. Besides, aren't you another disruptive user who says shit like "found the Jew" and posts gross-out links?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

LOLZOR DA JOOZ!!! HILARIOUS AND CONTRIBUTES TO THE DISCUSSION!!!!

Oh wait it doesn't.

[–]jet199Instigatrix 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

No, because it was a joke.

Which is why a bot can't understand it.

[–]Chipit 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

LOL that's all you got? Insults? I used to get angry from insults, but now I just smile. Because if you had any arguments, you'd use them.

[–]LarrySwinger2 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Now react in the same tone to me.

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

How many are there in your group of paid posters? There are a lot more of you than there used to be on this site.

[–]LarrySwinger2 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I suppose everyone on this site is a shill except for you. Very convincing.

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No, just the ones who pop up and harass me constantly. It's like my posts are flagged by a social media dashboard and then you all know to arrive and start persecuting.

I notice you didn't actually reply to the question. Very telling.

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

are . . . are the jews in the room with us, right now?

[–]Mastermustard03 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah, I'm replying to a hooknosed grabbler right now.

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

everyone who thinks sometimes is a jew

You must hold a high opinion of the chosen people

There's an investor, namely the guy on whose podcast m7 appeared a couple of years ago. How they will monetize it is another matter, but that doesn't need to happen straight away. Imgur wasn't monetized for the longest time, it was just a plain image host without fluff or ads (afaik).
