Why donnayoung.org is no longer free

Why donnayoung.org is no longer free

This answer is easy but no one wants to hear it.

Donnayoung.org was funded by ads and still is but at a much smaller scale. The wide use of Ad Blocker or Script Blocker damaged the advertising industry such that people like me started losing 60%+ of ad driven income.

Now you know. If you ever used an ad blocker or an add-on that disables scripts, you are partly to blame. However, I understand why people use those add-ons. Ads are obnoxious. No one likes being tracked. No one likes how ads slow down the internet.

I UNDERSTAND.

So now I have to charge for file access and that makes me sad, but like other people, I need an income. Money does not fall out of the sky.

Like I said, this makes me sad to make you pay to print my files which, since 1999, were previously printable at no charge.
