Hi there! We wanted to take a few minutes to explain the Daily Support Goal progress bar that we’ve added to the News Page today. We gotten a lot of user feedback recently, and one thing people have asked for consistently is more transparency from us in terms of what we need to keep Subeta growing.
Subeta is about 95% user-supported (the other 5% comes from advertising), which means that by supporting us through purchases Cash Shop Credits and Cash Shop items, you are directly contributing to Subeta’s longevity and success. Since you’re so important, we wanted to give you a small way to check in with us each day to see how we’re doing towards our goals. Following the lead of Reddit, one of the largest websites on the planet, we’ve add a Daily Support Goal progress bar that shows you just how close (or far) we are to where we need to be each day to maintain Subeta and continue to grow. The site operates on a daily budget, so we wanted the bar to track the same way that we track on the back end – you can see real progress in real time, every day.
To quell any concerns, this does NOT mean that if we don’t hit our goal every day, that the site will go down, or that any of your hard work is in any sort of peril. It’s simply a marker for us of how successful we are at keeping up with the demands of running a website the size of Subeta, and it’s a way for you to keep track of how your contributions are helping us every day.
We also understand and appreciate that not everyone has the means or the ability to support us with their money. You can still make a huge difference by bringing new users to the site, showing them the ropes, and getting them to stick around – that’s JUST as important to us as the financial support we receive.
We’re going to continue to work hard to make Subeta the best we can, and we can’t thank you enough for your time and your loyalty. Thank you for playing!
