I'm not. I test a lot of ideas but don't have much money. I have already to pay for hosting and DNS. SSL is optional. I'm very thankful to let's encrypt for the opportunity to use SSL on my sites. Also SSL (and the web) is a broken technology, I'm not going to pay for something broken.

there is nothing really that is free beer in the world, the money has to come somewhere, either some "rich" guys donate the fund, so the rest gets a free ride, or everybody pays a little, say, $5 per year, what's wrong with that? I'm not a rich guy per se, but I want to pay reasonable fee for what I got.

You can still do so by donating 5$ per year or any other amount you'd like - which is awesome! More things should come around in this way. Talk about being inclusive.

yes but if you do the math since not everybody is paying whoever donates need pay more to take care of those who does not, which is really what the whole topic is about.
