Thank you to all readers and members of the Conservative Treehouse fellowship for your continued support.  Without your help this little corner of the research and discussion internet just could not exist. I will always work earnestly to be deserving of that support and fellowship.

We are fortunate, blessed and protected by a loving God who has confidence in our stewardship.

As new visitors attest every day, the fellowship in this commenting community is unique, insightful, articulate, intelligent and funny.  I love you guys.

As many of you are aware, in April last year we lost our primary Ad revenue because we refused to enforce Google moderation rules in our comment system.

The ridiculous demand for content control within our proprietary commenting system was actually the culmination of years of effort by Google and tech allies who were looking for ways to demonetize our platform and control information from this site.

As a direct and specific result without your direct support now, CTH cannot exist.

Retaining our ability to research, share and most importantly, discuss ongoing events, has been my #1 priority.  Thank you again for your insight, wisdom, humor, friendship and support.

There are currently two methods to support CTH 2.0, our ongoing mission and discussion. However, depending on your browser settings (and ad blocker software) the second option may not be visible.  There is a screengrab below showing what I am talking about.

The alternative financial support appears directly below the PayPal link in a yellow box as highlighted.  Some have said browser settings can block visibility, and I have also heard it doesn’t show up on some mobile devices.  I am not sure what the technical issue might be other than ISP filters (now becoming more problematic) and/or adblocking software.

Due to my personal requirements for Treehouse user privacy, and my firm stance on not retaining user data lists, the alternative system does not provide a subscriber option.  If you use the alternative support function, each time you would want to support CTH, you have to click it and reenter your information.  No data is saved.

Financial support through PayPal remains the most efficient and stable way to support CTH.  I know they have received a lot of criticism, much of it well placed; however, my own experience with PayPal has been solid.  When CTH was deplatformed and under attack from Big Tech (Eye of Sauron) to their credit PayPal stood firm and supported CTH in continuing their service.

While my experience with PayPal seems to run counter to the outcome described by others, the unexpected supportive position from PayPal made a strong impression on me.  Again, perhaps unique, not sure why, but my experience with them has been very good.  If that ever changed, I would immediately let you know.  The data security and convenience of their system is also solid and useful.

Regardless, there are two options: (1) PayPal and (2) Proprietary.  Due to legal caution and the data privacy construct, the Proprietary alternative has a 30-day access lag built in.  Meaning, if you use that option, in approximately 30 days the funds become accessible, whereas support through the preferred PayPal option is immediate.

Thanks to everyone who helps offset all site hosting costs, our voice and information remains in the fight.  We are committed to staying strong, fiercely protective of user data privacy, and anti-fragile so that we can withstand big tech (Google) targeting.

Don’t forget to pray, smile and live your best life! 

My deepest appreciation to all,

Sundance
