I (genuinely) wonder, how often have you paid authors for their articles/blog posts?

I run a website of guides, and have a paypal donate button, and I think about 1 in 10,000 visitors donate. Donations are mostly $1 or so, but I got a $1000 one once.

Overall, a substantially lower return than ads.

How much do you make per 10,000 visitors? The ads you refer to, are they billed by CPM or CPI?
Not the poster, but I have a Patreon account full of my favorite bloggers and YouTubers.
