Could my donator badge be changed to read "Penis"?

Ha we don't currently support that but I like the idea, I'll see what I can do.
1 year later edit: Yes.
Why do we need your help?
AniList & AniChart are free to use but ad-supported; however, ads don't make enough to support the sites, and we don't want to fill our pages with countless ads that can ruin your experience.
Your donations will allow us to cover our server payments, development costs, and keep the sites running long into the future. :)
What do I get for donating?
Donators receive access to exclusive features and bonuses, such as badges, animated avatars and lots more! Check out each donation tier for their specific perks.
Please note the minimum donation amount is $1.
Monthly donations (Patreon or PayPal) or One-time donations (PayPal)
We'll be incredibly thankful for any donation you can give, though recurring monthly donations will allow us greater financial stability in the months to come. If Patreon isn't your thing, you can also do monthly donations via PayPal. One-time donations will receive equivalent rewards for the same amount of time as one monthly donation (1 month per monthly donation).
Please be aware donations are currently being processed manually and may take 2-4 days to be activated. For this purpose, please include your username in the donation message (PayPal) or send the AniList Patreon account your username so we know who has donated.
If you have issues with your donation, please message @nck or email us at contact@anilist.co

Will the donator badge permanently be on my profile if I pay one-time via PayPal or do I have to pay monthly? I'm also assuming that $1 is also the amount I have to pay on PayPal like Patreon to get the donator badge?
Also, about the ad thing, I think it would help if it was relocated somewhere else. Since it's placed on the bottom of the website, the infinite scrolling makes people unable to view or click them.
It will be on your profile for 1 month for a one-time donation, and more months for following one-time donations. Monthly donations will have it as long as they stay as a patreon. I also have a "Donated" status tho not sure if that will have a badge or something else, but I'd like to do something for users that donated in past at least.
Yeah true, not a huge amount of the pages have infinite scrolling but the idea is that its out of the way and not being intrusive, we still get a little for having it on the page even if its not clicked, tho a click is worth a fair amount more.
Not entirely related, but this is the only ad I see on the site:
So I guess that's not giving you any money. Am I doing something wrong?
That displays when the ad that should be there is worth less than a certain amount (a very very low amount, I can't remember it off the top of my head). Its probably because google doesn't have enough information to display you a relevant ad, or your in a country which has more limited ad space.
Why don't you put ad in some of these places? I think it's not intrusive and it will help you earn more.

Interesting. I am not sure I have ever seen ads outside of the one posted by Kuu above and I'm in the US. Interesting to see why although that seems odd as I am sure Google probably has lots of info on me haha.
mhmm
Give them your child support and mortgage money, leeches.
At what Pateron pledge tier do I get nudes?
XD
tempting, tempting.
and how about you Lemon? $5 and a half bag of chips?
Lemon nudes are free.
Hmmm... I use Adblock and i would hate to disable it. Is 5$/month enough to keep Adblock in use for this site?
You can just disable it for AniList, add AniList to the whitelist.
sure i can, but i dont want to.
btw that's kinda strange it was 15 Patreons with 41$ then i added my 5$/month and it rose to 16 Patreons with 45$ :/ i'm pretty sure that 41+5 equals 46 and not 45.
It has to do with rounding and Patreon taking a cut. Which is 5% according to their help page.
Pretty much what Kaza has said above, but it still displays your actual output on the receiving end, so there are no worries there
"sure i can, but i dont want to."
What the hell man...
Yeah feel free
Apart from having the donator icon on our profiles, is there any other way of seeing who else is donating?
You also get the donator role on discord and we'll be added a custom forum title soon, we have some other ideas for some up coming features too.
I didn't know about the donator role on Discord. What does it do? And how do I get it?
It's a shame I don't have the opportunity to donate, but I whitelisted the site. I don't see anyone anyway... good luck, I love what you did here.~~
Oh, I didn't note I was using an adblocker here, lmfao, like, I use it on all pages so I forget. But now I turned it off!
Yeah sure I'll donate. I use the sites often enough and $3 isn't really too bad. I personally don't really care about the ads because they've been fairly unobtrusive so far, unlike some other sites.
Is it possible to donate via Bitcoin? I like my Privacy. (Bitcoin is growing in value, and also a bitcoin wallet is easy to make.)
holy shit if you had bitcoin 4 years ago you're probably so rich rn wtf
this mf stacked stacked
Not anymore
its getting back there, but yeah bro's bitcoin value got hit by a truck
1 year later: holy shit this mf is prob stacked as hell now
indeed he stacked as hell
after 8 years yea this guy is richie rich now
Donated just now. Set up a Monthly recurring profile @Josh
Any update on this as i have made 2 payments and have yet to receive any response? x
Sorry been super busy so having been on my computer in the past couple days, I'll sort your donation status out tonight.
Thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated @Josh
Im the 50th patreon ^_^ any special reward?
I take the chance to thanks @Josh and all the team that makes anilist! I really love what you guys made here.
@josh why you didnt make a premium member, and a feature from premium member you can make a member can edit backgroud of their post or can custom background and other stuff, and maybe you can use RATCHET PHP for make realtime chatting no need node.js or react.js just need some script php and jquery but i see your site used angular js, ratchet can run with angular to run RATCHET, and on chatting the member can change their post bg or other i think much way to make profit for your site,
RATCHET on codeigniter maybe this link will usefull
github codeigniter ratchet realtime chat
and iam plan to try make site like that . . .
sorry if my english so bad XD iam from indonesia so, iam not often use english tehe
Directly from the Patreon page:
<blockquote>
Why don't you make a "Pro" account with more features instead of relying on donations?
Simply put we don't want to block features from users who can't afford to pay. We don't have any features in the pipe line that would cost us more to run, and we feel restricting features that don't cost us any extra would be wrong to our users.
</blockquote>
Why can't I donate with DogeCoin?
Josh is anti-doge
holy moly, doge coin 5 years ago was worth nothing, if u kept it when Elon made a twitter post you must be rich af
My doge was worth $200 for a long time before it crashed, Elon hyped it and I managed to sell it for $2000. It kept climbing and peaked at mine being worth $60,000. I'm not unhappy with what I got for it but damn wtf
I can't give you guys money. the most I can do is whitelist your site. I love that you don't restrict features for us poor folk. thank you!
Good guy AniList
\>isn't corporately owned like MAL or Kitsu
\>staff happily interacts with users directly
\>runs limited ads
\>thanks you for not using adblock instead of guilting you for not using it
\>supports itself by politely asking for donations, says no big if you can't
\>doesn't limit features if you don't donate
I mean, if that's not reason enough to chip in a few bucks if you can, I don't see what is.
Indeed, I've just decided to donate to the site that actually cares about its users.
How can I make donation? Where is the link to Paypal?
Transparency question: While the Patreon numbers are visible, the PayPal donations and ad revenues are not. How important are they in comparison?
Patreon donations definitely help us out the most at the moment.
We get a couple of small paypal donations a month, and I think theres maybe 2 people doing monthly donations via paypal, but its very very little compared to patreon. Sometimes someone will donate a 1-time larger amount via paypal, say $20-$50 though thats only really happened 2 or 3 times so far.
Adsense use to be very helpful to us but over the years they've been giving out less and less, and have gotten a lot more inconsistent. Some months adsense might match the patreon amount, other months it won't even be half way there. The "estimated earnings" amount adsense provides has also gotten a lot worse, it use to be say $5 off what we would actually get but now it can be anywhere from 10-50% off so its really hard to depend on adsense for anything since the amount changes so much month to month and then we don't really have any idea of the actual amount we'll get until its payed out a few weeks into the next month.
Thank you for the reply.
With the new changes to Patreon, it is no longer as attractive as before. Could it be possible for me to change my Patreon pledge into a single PayPal donation to have the badge for the entire next year instead? (15$-20$)
Yeah that would be completely fine, thanks :)
So does mean they come under the whole "we don’t want to restrict features from any users" section of the master post.
Are Lemon's nudes a feature of anilist?
Damn @matchai, you weren't this expensive the last time we talked; what happened? O_o
My stock in AniCorp paid out dividends. Next round's on me!
hey admin o.o when i click "paypal" its showing the money in BRITISH POUNDS but I'm in Canada o.o I wanna pay u guys 5 bucks how to do that ;_;
Unfortunately, for the time being, Paypal donations can only be made in British pounds. Patreon should be able to accept donations in other currencies.
so when they say 5$ donation is it in USD or British pounds >.>
