    Question

    Following a suggestion in the forum, Metaculus is strongly considering (i.e. 90+% likelihood) creating a Patreon account where members of the community can pledge levels of support to help support operation of the site. This is a short-term step on the longer road to a sustainable financial model. Per the Patreon model, users will be invited to pledge (say) $5-$100/month to support Metaculus content generation, feature adds, and community growth, and be rewarded with various minor perks.

    If such an account is opened, and announced onsite and in a newsletter on given date X,

    What will be the total pledged monthly support two months after date X?

    Resolves ambiguous if no Patreon account is launched by Jan 15, 2019.
