It is a great way, just hard to pull off on a platform like github combined with the general distrust of adtech that's common with devs/HN crowd.

Ads are still the most scalable, fast, easy and passive way to generate revenue but unfortunately the adtech industry has poisoned the well so people forget all the smaller companies trying to do the right thing. Perhaps opencollective can pickup something like this. Good luck on your next project.
