      God this is so stupid. A VC backed company asking for donations. Vox, if you think your product is great, charge money in exchange for the value you give customers. I know, it's a bold statement, charging people money for a product, but try it. https://digiday.com/media/as-a-paywall-alternative-vox-com-asks-for-reader-donations-to-fund-coronavirus-coverage/ …
