    @Doghen do you use a VPN (i.e. Private Internet Access or any other)?

    Fortunately for coin miners websites, the vast majority of visitors are unprotected to effectively block mining and these don't even know that mining is actualy happening behind the scene, lol. That list above is for users like me who don't like anything messing around. So they don't care about us, a minority, that much. If they don't make money from our visits, no problema at all.:)

    Not having no stinking miners running in my browser, nor any stinking ads, no compromise

    If you can't afford to run a site without sticking ads all over it or infecting machines with miners, don't start a site, us, the members are the reason the site is even a site, remove us and you have nothing, so we're already paying our way, don't make out like we owe you something

    This is a long debate which has been going on forever on The Internet. Folks who start up websites obviously have the funds to be running a website, but there is no shame or harm in wanting to offset the balance. Especially if your website becomes super popular and your monthly cost reaches €5,000 per month (€60,000.00 per year). Then you have the entitled users who believe everything should be free and by their mentality, only the wealthy could ever hope to run a popular website. :rolleyes:

    It really does go both ways! -- If it were not for the users, no site would be popular, but it were not for someone paying the dues, no user would have anywhere to visit.

    It's not free though, we pay our ISP for internet access

    If site owners don't think their site should be free, charge for access, good luck getting members

    We pay our ISP too, then we pay for a web host, then we pay for the software, we pay for the hardware, we pay to the security, we also pay for the traffic because your visit to our site is not free since we pay for your bandwidth which you use, and if net neutrality comes to an end, we'll be paying your ISP too just to allow you that access to our site. And if we did not do any of that, you would have nowhere to visit. Your entitled mentality does not reflect the reality of life, though I wish everything were free too as I too would love a free lunch.

    It is not a question of having a paid or free website, many folks would prefer to have their site freely accessible to the public. MDL it would seem is a prime example of that. It is merely a desire to offset some of the cost and finding an acceptable balance which allows that to happen.

    Yea well, you chose to invoke all those costs when you decided to create a site, not our problem

    As I said, without your free members your site would be nothing at all so we are already invaluable to you, I pay for internet access, I'm not paying again for website access in any form, be it ads, mining or subscriptions

    End of dumb conversation
