Built a free product (https://heymeta.com) to solve my own problem and posted it here on HN and Reddit as well as Product Hunt (that was in 2018 when it was still relevant).

Currently getting 15k/unique/month (it has dropped a bit less, but steadily getting up after the rewrite and bigfixes).

When the website doesn't have sponsors, I promote my other free macOS tool (https://dockey.publicspace.co) (with a donation option) that get quite a nice flow of visitors from it.

I'd call this a success, although it's not enough to pay the bills or anything :)

https://www.heymeta.com/sponsor/ returns a 404 currently... is that expected?

It shouldn't and doesn't for me at the moment. Is this still the case on your side?

well, I see a flash of a normal page and then it goes to 404

I'm using Chrome, with only uBlock Origin Lite but disabling it ~shows no change~ appears to allow it to work.

Looking at the requests with uBOL disabled, app.68194690.js and 5.5caaec0f.js both returned 404, everything else returned 200/202.

and with uBOL enabled https://plausible.hey.si/js/script.hash.outbound-links.js shows as blocked. maybe that's the issue?
