Thanks for the beneficiant donation final week. Some donated $100–$500. We appreciated it. The overall donation we obtained is sufficient to get me via the month. Nonetheless, it’s not sustainable for a number of folks to help the positioning with that form of large donation for the very long time, as they’ll’t do that each month. We determine to launch a paywall so everybody can pitch in a couple of dollars a month to take care of IWB. The paywall ought to be prepared inside a number of days. As said in my earlier submit, the present speech censorship operation is led by governments, they work with social media and search engine firms to suppress and censor info and opinion that contradict their narratives. It’s going to worsen as extra advertisers proceed to depart us.

The paywall will seem after the primary 20 free articles, so it gained’t have an effect on all the brand new guests or many of the present readers.

The speed ought to be between $1.95 and $8.95 a month. I haven’t selected the speed but. When you have any concepts about the place I ought to set the speed, let me know.

If we will get IWB solely funded by readers, we will slowly take away all of the advertisements and turn out to be really impartial. We estimate that 1,500–2000 subscribers could also be ample to fund the positioning. If there’s further funding, we will rent extra assist to dig up extra fascinating tales.

We aren’t going to succeed in our purpose anytime quickly. Within the meantime, if you happen to can afford to make a further donation, we’ll recognize it.
