Give Erik a dollar

Yesterday,  for no reason at all, I started wondering if chess.com gets any profit.

Then I realized nobody pays for membership. Only diamond/gold/platinum members I know of are: masters and people that were magically gifted a mebership. Suspicious.

So we have ads left. My irrefutable logic says ads cannot pay for a website like this.

My conclusion is that chess.com loses money.

And there's only one thing we can do to solve this situation

Donate money

Wikipedia-style

If everybody donated $1, I am sure chess.com would have a huge profit.

Let's ask Erik for his Pay-Pal account.

Oh, now that I realize. It would be better if some of you started donating before I do, because I will be busy these days and will not be able to do it.

I can make some calculations about the estimated Revenue and Net Profit of chess.com, based on some assumptions.

I will make it soon, just gimme 1 or 2 days.

I was bored.

Reminds me of people who want population control. I would say to them, all right, you be the first! *bang*

Look at comment #2.

I know. That's why I said that.

On the other hand, erik could pay those of us using adblock to not use adblock.

Do you feel sad for poor Erik? Donate!

I was not magically gifted this membership.  I reported a glitch in TT and was rewarded it.

I doubt he's poor.

I seen a video a few months ago where he was representing himself (sitting on his bed wearing socks with holes in them and what seemed to be a sencond hand t-shirt) as CEO of chess.com

It sure buys that dress.

In every country...

 Then we have no internet to use.

and nothing to 'Share'.......

I agree
