I will always try to keep monetization to a minimum, but there will be some extras shortly. Originally I self-funded and relied on donations for the site for as long as I could, no ads. Then DoS attacks started, then real DoS attacks started, then the DNM economy shrunk and every time we're attacked, we burn funds that we can't afford to, just to ensure we're here to provide the service. When Recon relaunches it will still remain a completely free service for example, when we could charge a lot of money to markets and vendors for the API access. Always going to keep a balance and keep within only what is necessary.
Let's briefly explain the terms and conditions. Dread staff is less than 5 people, RuTOR staff - 29 people, not including technical specialists, who are not officially declared as members of the forum team, plus employees without the status of “moderator”, all kinds of editors, etc.
Paying 10-25 thousand dollars a month for a top spot in a section while maintaining a long track record is not normal.
Paying 1500 dollars a month to create a service to automate the sale of drugs (as Asteria) is not normal.
A fee for those who provide design services of $250 dollars is not normal.
2 tickers with ads and 25 banners in the top footer is not normal.
Sale of signatures in each user's post (for 100 posts with the content “Buy on KRAKEN” a user, for example, gets 10 dollars) is not normal.
I could justify RuTOR with many things. After all, I've also shown what huge sums are posted in the auctions of the same KRAKEN marketplace for the first 4 spots in the show. But that's a marketplace.
RuTOR is a clear monopolist, which got all the traffic of Russia and CIS in 2022, and as soon as the forum was repaid, probably 4 times already repaid all the investments in it.
What are the budgets spent on? Well, for example, on free distribution of funds once a day to users in random order (roulette). On “best cook” contests. “Exclusive lectures” from a local lawyer. Anything but development.
You created Recon and Endgame. RuTOR created an exclusive space for taking money for every action and a New Year's “make a snowman and get 50 dollars” contest (and that's not a joke either).
