Augusta Free Press content is available for free, as it has been since 2002, save for a disastrous one-month experiment at putting some content behind a pay wall back in 2009.(We won’t ever try that again. Almost killed us!)

That said, it’s free to read, but it still costs us money to produce. The site is updated several times a day, every day, 365 days a year, 366 days on the leap year.

(Stuff still happens on Christmas Day, is what we’re saying there.)

AFP does well in drawing advertisers, but who couldn’t use an additional source of revenue?

From time to time, readers ask us how they can support us, and we usually say, keep reading.

Now we’re saying, you can drop us a few bucks, if you’re so inclined.

We’re not going to go all Alex Jones or 1980s televangelist on you and tell you that if you don’t give us money, we won’t be able to keep the lights on, or that God will strike us dead.

(The lights will stay on either way. God may still strike us dead.)

So, yes, the subscriptions here are voluntary (thus the “donate” button).

You get to read us either way, if you give us money or not.

The lights stay on, God (probably?) doesn’t strike us dead, we still tell you stuff, even on Christmas Day.

Bottom line: You can subscribe to Augusta Free Press if you want to. If you don’t, we’re still cool.
