I’m not seeing any ads, and these servers certainly have a cost… So is this place entirely donation based, or what?

    The world’s most popular fanfiction website, Archive of Our Own, runs entirely on donations so it’s certainly possible to run a website with a big userbase on donations only, although the website in question does not host images or videos so the situation is of course a bit different. But a dedicated userbase can actually make a donation run website possible.
