Hi NL team. You all do a great job. However, the model currently in place is very limiting. I don't see anything wrong in taking advertisements as long as you control who is in. I do consume a lot of good content on public media that is ad driven, but still is good and not compromised because it's ad paid. NL can still ask for donations but let the platform be free to allow the voice to really spread.
Absolutely sad to hear wonderful people leaving the NL team but I can understand their emotions. Right now, I am confused if I am paying as a donation or really paying for the content. Does not fit either of them correctly. After all this, I will still try to keep up my subscription.
