> Pixeldrain is struggling to get by financially. Because anyone can upload anything it's hard to find reputable advertisers who want to advertise on pixeldrain. Every month the ad revenue just barely covers the bandwidth costs. If this continues I will have to resort to adding more shady ads, or reducing the file size and bandwidth limits. That's not something I would like to do.
The vast majority of my income is from ads. It's a 10:1 ratio. Patreon definitely helps, and I hope that it will get so far that I have to rely less on ads to keep the site running.
The nice thing about Patreon is that they do my taxes for me. When I receive my money the taxes have already been paid. I can put it in my accounting software as tax free money. Patreon's fees are high though, so if something else comes along I'll give that a shot too.

I see on Patreon that you're getting $275.43/month from supporters. How does that work out financially?
