It’s only giving me a monthly option. Can I do a lump sum instead?

Also feel free to dm me your Venmo.

Thanks all, got $315.

I don’t really care if the site loses a little money some years, so long as it makes a little often enough to qualify as a business for tax purposes.

Is there a place to view site reporting? I’m wondering about number of users, how many are active, how many post, etc. This year and year-over-year is super interesting.

Thanks! That link is private for me.

Apparently only admins have access. How about this Data Explorer thing?

That’s a link to a help forum but I doubt any of the links will take me to FTC reports.

No but there’s discussion of a SQL interface.

Didn’t use to be.
