Is my retreat from following the now dystopian news going to punish my beloved DU?

I quit recording all my MSNBC programs, from Nicolle to Lawrence, non-stop. I currently probably only spend 10% of the time on DU than I have in the last 20 plus years. I’ll keep my gold star current, and bump up my contribution, but is my reduced engagement going to cost this site that kept me sane ad revenue?

Im tuning out on so many levels. Only skimming so far and not letting myself get too triggered..

I feel like I can really only try to get my own ducks in a row before they get thiers in marching lines. It like a race, but not a good one 😞

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
