I'm starting to wish atko would just slap some damn ads on here and use the money to keep it from going down all the time

He's said that he will never use ads as revenue. I respect that, and I think a lot of other people do too, which is why he's getting shitloads of donations. I think it's a really great thing to aim for. Along with keeping the viewers happy, it avoids the possible problem of corporate sponsorship, which is part of why reddit is crashing and burning to the ground as we speak. Refusing to host ads is spectacular in more ways than I can list.

easy solution, just pick sponsors that don't give a damn about fat peoples' feelings. protein world, perhaps?

He's also updated to say that he's been approached by investors whose ideals are in line with the free & open platform. So fingers crossed!

He could just get one of those unlimited hosting plans where they charge you for whatever you use, that way during tsunamis he'd stay up and whatever minimal ads he used would pay to cover it.
