Hey there, Alex here. I completely understand where you are coming from.

I'm not an expert on laws, GDPR, when consent is needed, by whom, etc.

This is a side project that just started gaining a little bit of traction, and I'll certainly look into all the above.

However, the emails I add are publicly available, found on the internet. Not from some leaked database.

I also have prices high in order to keep spammers away and have a small handful of customers. I only have about twenty, and they are targeting different kind of startups.

Hey everyone, Alex here.

I was caught a bit by surprise to be honest, as I did not post the article myself.

The article is very sloppy and it shows, so sorry for putting you through that! I also left-aligned the text as people requested.

I'm happy that people enjoyed it and can relate :)

> It's a success story.

Haha! That was a good one.

No one called Wikipedia or Doctors without Borders a failure. The article states that relying on donations is risky by nature, let alone when increasing expenses every year.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this, do you think there is no way donations may decline leaving Wikipedia in trouble with hundreds of people on it's pay roll?

I agree it's not a perfect analogy, Wikipedia's model is even worse. Startups generate revenue as well. Wikipedia is nearly fully dependant on funding.

If that was the case then every company/startup that fails to raise another round would survive on the "better tools" they developed with their previous funding rounds.

But as we know, they die or sell instead.
