Thought Maybe is an entirely self-funded and independent operation, paid for by the site administrators, editors and sometimes contributed to by generous user donations. We don’t receive any outside funds, nor do we receive or accept money from corporate or government entities. We also don’t run advertising on our site as we find it repugnant, compromising and unwanted.

We do our best not to use nor support corporate-controlled “communication networks.” We run our own servers as much as possible, and maintain an independent software platform for publishing—insofar as it’s possible to do on the Internet of corporate-controlled gateways, and ISP companies. We recognise this is part of our conscious objection to ‘free’ publishing portals such as YouTube, Google, Facebook, etc; which fundamentally exist to spy on you for advertising, and manipulate content tailored to your behaviour. We’re vehemently opposed to these networks, which have hijacked and indeed sabotaged our political discussions, and as a result, we undergo numerous efforts to run our own independent operation where there’s no advertising, surveillance or filter bubble. This is where you can help.
