Sick of working so hard 7 days a week with my wee helpers then having to beg for money to pay them. 3 800 readers in one day and only 14 contribute. Crowdfunder cancelled, payments refunded and paywall being explored. At least we’ll have some pride. John

Yes, please keep my donation too John. For the sake of your health and sanity I’d also urge you to consider cutting down on the number of posts. I’ve no idea how you’ve managed to sustain this level of output for so long. Just focus on the big stories, maybe aggregate smaller connected pieces.

I was thinking same. It must be really intensive with the number of posts.
Look after yourself John.

You could perhaps consider this. Easy to set up and it may bring in some more income?

I would prefer if you kept my donation too, made by bank transfer yesterday. I commented under anonymous yesterday to advise. I believe you really should consider reducing your workload though, rather than stopping alltogether.
Kind regards

I went to log in earlier today and got the WordPress screen. Happy to donate (as always), but cut down of the sheer amount of posts you are preparing!
Now that you are approaching middle age its time to ease back 🙂
