Maybe some of its users will join the Fediverse? But where should they go, I don't think there's a federated Tumblr clone.

Lack of funds, essentially. For all we hate corporatised Internet services, we really suck at funding alternatives.

This is an ongoing problem, we need to figure out a way to make these services sustainable. The donation model obviously isn't cutting it.

Paid supporter membership? Something like, you get a snazzy badge next to your username if you send them 2 EUR a month?

Most people will buy a Starbucks everyday then scoff at paying for a service they use daily.

Don't have any sources, but I feel like I've seen that model before and it doesn't seem to have worked so far for most people.
