Donate

Lichess, please remove "DONATE" bar from header

If you lose concentration, stick a piece of black tape on the screen
Do you think website hosting is free? That's just one part of the services.
Ok if we going to have a whole tab for donate then we can remove the one under community as said in #2
"I'm likewise somewhat confused by lichess.org/ containing three donate links."
3 links is a bit excessive
so lets get rid of the one thats almost right next to the donate tab

If mods follow that logic they would have to close the whole forum
Well, until now I disabled the Adblocker for lichess. With uBlockOrigin's Element Picker the little yellow grinch is now history.

Have you ever seen somebody who needs help, but just continues to walk along and ignore it?
While you're right Lichess does need money to function, @Cedur216 is correct. It is a courtesy, not an obligation, but it would really help to build lichess up.

As stated here: lichess.org/blog/YF-ZORQAACAA89PI/why-lichess-will-always-be-free.

Lichess is expensive to run, and counts on donations as well to run the site. Do you like how lichess is right now? no ads, doesn't sell your personal data, and a free website?

That's partly due to donations.

> You say that Lichess is FREE website WITHOUT ADS (lichess.org/features). But then, why you put option "DONATE" in navigation bar?
> Maybe you will say that it's just ad. BUT, Lichess is the site without ads.
Ah yes, so by your logic, Lichess should take down their entire merch store as well, which has existed for a long time without complaint.
Yet, I don't see you complaining about the merch store.
