If Rusty was really money obsessed there would be ads even while logged in and a bounty to pay for you to be banned.

There's no ads even when logged out, company running the ads wanted us to censor content so they got yanked.

Are you willing to be transparent about your costs currently associated with the site and what you earn from it? It's certainly easier for me to support something that way.

I don't read the chatbox. What led to this pause? Spam? Legal uncertainty?

An image of bilbo toast that got Soyster really riled up for no reason and since roosty doesn't want to lose his only friend (and Vergil) he just did it to please him.

ah geez my dude, when I factor in labor costs it's gotta be at least $60,000 a month.

as a more serious answer:
I considered being transparent at one point but I realized it would be pretty easy to figure out who my hosting providers are if I provided an actual breakdown and yes there are people who would love to send emails to our hosting providers(or the people above them) to get us yanked down. They already do it semi-regularly to cloudflare, the only public-facing part of our infrastructure.

If people don't want to buy platinum because of the lack of transparency, that's fine.
