    If you want to do a thing online (and I do not care what that thing is) you can finance it in one or more of exactly five different ways:
    1. Advertising
    2. Subscriptions
    3. Selling shit
    4. Donations
    5. Crimes

    If your organization is large and would like some measure of stability, you're really limited to the first three.

    This post is a general statement about the world, but also it is not *not* a post about the Mozilla Foundation.

    @tess I do believe, that if you are big enough, 5. is a clear option.

    @tess Nice summary but 1. is just a special case of 3. though it changes who the customers are. If you include 1. then you should also include “0. Sell your users’ data”, which seems to a favorite supplementary income for social media/banks/mobile phone operators/ISP/…
