How does devRant makes their money?

Hypothesis 1: they word count our rants to identify most well known tech terms and sell it to hiring companies and consulting firms.
Hypothesis 2: they aggregate rants on an specific management fad or technique and sell it to management research and consulting firms
Hypothesis 3: currently burning through investor cash and plan on filling the place with ads when that runs off.
Hypothesis 4: something along the lines of "devs of the world, unite!"

Or is there another way?

    They make money by being Big Rant.

    It is all about the swag.

    @JsonBoa they don't get much money. Some of us are ++ supporters, but the dev team is 2 people, this isn't their day job.

    I imagine the ++ money doesn't quite cover hosting costs, and that @dfox and @trogus are taking a bath on the platform.

    devRant++ covers some hosting. Some minimal ad revenue for non-user web traffic. devDuck sales helped but very time consuming logistics, hopefully we'll be able to bring those back soon.

    @Demolishun whoring...

    You are not nice mister.

    Just because sex is so good you give him the money willingly it's not whoring.

    Rather appraisal of quality.

    @atheist @trogus I said something about selling AGUD but please don't start now, it is a freaking legal minefield if you have any data that might refer to an EU citizen.
    Launch an NFT with favourite rants or something, but stay away from user data, even if anonymous.

    @JsonBoa we've never had plans for selling user data without consent. Initial thought for monetization was lead gen for recruitment/job placement, but tough with anonymous users mainly fucking around vs. a more technical / professional network (SO, kaggle, LinkedIn, etc), and also many here are still in school and spread across various international markets. Might be easier now with remote work having gone mainstream.
