Every time I hear about Signal's donation notices I start thinking about ways they might generate revenue. I'm sure Signal staff have considered a ton of options already. Anyway,

- can't do personalized ads or geo-specific ads, so doing generic ads wouldn't drive a ton of revenue anyways

- can't require users payment because when payment (most forms, including bitcoin!) can be used to identify people

- No real benefit to themed group chats (like discord nitro) since it doesn't focus on community groups

I'd love for someone to figure this out, though, because a nonprofit structure for an app is not sustainable.
