Advertising business is full of scumbags. I'd rather Poal just solicited donations, did branded merch, or had a Premium tier. Gab seems to be pulling through with that model.
BAT tokens can be bought too, you can go to a crypto currency exchange, buy BAT tokens and transfer them to Poal. I mentioned advertising because I am not in a position to be able to pay for Poal, it is up to you each individual how they get their BAT. You can disable adverts in Brave, it is optional.
And Gab is losing a ton of money, they are half a million in the red, you can see their financials here https://gab.com/about/investors
I wasn't aware one could purchase BAT. I guess that makes it a bit more interesting but I'd still be worried about Brave deciding to eject Poal from their BAT network. I see where this would be fast + easy on-ramp to crypto payments but if it were me I would be trying to diversify the options pretty quickly. The Left is already beating the drums about how "Alt Right" personalities are being funded with BitCoin.
This is a way that we can donate to poal for no money, only ignoring some tiny little ads.
Silkscreen some shirts that say Poal.co, our echo chamber is better than the rest.
