Hi guys,
I’m Jason, and I run the site. A lot of people think we have a whole team behind this. But most of the time it’s just me.
In order to keep this site running, I would greatly appreciate it if you would donate just $1 a month.
If everyone who saw this were to donate that much, I could do this full time! And wouldn’t that be the dream??
If times are tough, I completely understand. But if you like the site, anything you can contribute makes a huge difference. Thanks!
My best,
Jason
