He really seemed downbeat in his announcements regarding the birthday. He really puts a lot of work into the site but having a niche audience of tech literate users is probably the worst place to be with ad sales tanking as they do. If anybody is using adblockers, it’s us and people are cheap.
I really hope the guy has a nice birthday and gets lots of love and donations. The phoronix content is always great and I’ve been a long time reader. (I’ve donated the same amount as OP - see my screenshot)
Have been yearly premium for a couple years but just upgraded to lifetime. It’s nice having someone doing all the legwork to find the interesting content. Thanks, Michael!
