You should try out https://filepost.io (Disclaimer - I own it) I do feel for zippy though. Even for my site, Ad revenue has completely dried up and infrastructure costs now outweigh my revenue.
I run https://pixeldrain.com. At the start of this year I completely removed all ads from my site. I'm done with checking ad network after ad network only to find out that they all pay the same: pennies.
Pixeldrain now runs on subscribers over at Patreon and it's working quite well actually.
