Supporting on GitHub. Just a few bucks a month. It won’t take many of us to get to $175/mo.
I do pony up for other services (not YT Premium because I won’t give Google any money) and support a significant number of creators via Patreon, giving them more money by far than they’d ever see from me from ads.
