I just donated because I believe in the product, I think what you’re asking for is fair, but there is also the idea, that given all that it does now, and the quality of the system, we need to at least act partially on faith and the value made available already.
Maybe the real answer is to put $3-5 a month down now, and then as your questions are answered you can increase from there, but to some extent I think if you believe in what you’ve seen so far, it would be good for users to at least modestly step up too.
