On this subject, here is something to think about.
Which is worse in terms of COI risks?
Funded 100% by donations by 50% of the donation money comes from only 1-3 people/groups.
Funded 90% through ads but with no advertiser accounting for more than 1% of the income.
It's a serious and important question.
You must have a dictionary with novel and exclusive definitions of both the words "serious" and "important".
If 50% of donations were (in the serious world) coming from geeks; I have a genuinely hard time seeing how anyone other than academics with traffic cones up their asses would complain.
