Running a website isn’t free. Even though video games are our passion, it takes a lot of time and money to run a website like this. Here are a number of ways to support My Dpad, whether or not you have any money to spend right now (because we love all our readers).
Whitelist My Dpad
There are plenty of good reasons to use adblockers, and it’s a shame that consumers often have to choose between supporting the websites they visit and giving up their privacy or exposing themselves to malicious code. If you block ads on My Dpad, we fully respect your choice and there are no hard feelings. However, please consider whitelisting My Dpad on your adblocker to throw a few cents our way so that we can keep doing this. Whitelisting My Dpad is a great way to support us without having to spend a dime.
Windscribe VPN
Speaking of adblockers, a good VPN is pretty much a must for anyone who uses the internet these days. Free VPNs are risky, because they have to make money somehow, so it’s more likely that you’re putting your information at risk when you use a free VPN instead of a paid VPN. A great paid VPN (and the one I personally use) is Windscribe VPN.
Windscribe is a full-featured VPN that protects your privacy online. It can also be used to access content that is blocked at your current location for whatever reason. In addition, it can be used as an excellent adblocker! If you use Windscribe VPN, you can even block any ads on My Dpad itself. The link posted above is an affiliate link, so if you end up upgrading to a paid plan from the free trial, you will be supporting My Dpad with a commission (without any extra cost to you).
Bonus: Windscribe VPN supports Hong Kong liberation!
Shop My Dpad
Another way to support My Dpad is through the shop. This is where you can buy various things designed by My Dpad, whether you’re looking for a new t-shirt or just a coffee mug. Check back often, since we will continue expanding the shop with more offerings.
Further, if you click on any of the affiliate links posted on the website (for example, if you click on an Amazon link from My Dpad), we will get a commission of any purchase you make in the near future without any added cost to you. This is another great way to support My Dpad without having to spend money that you weren’t planning to spend. You can also rest easy that My Dpad only posts affiliate links for products that would have been offered anyways, and there are plenty of links to products that aren’t affiliate links, such as links to Google Play games.
Donate!
Finally, for the hardcore My Dpad fans, you can donate directly to My Dpad to support great video game content. Anyone who does this will forever be immortalized as a hero (if getting your name listed on the site counts). You can donate directly to us in one of two ways:
PayPal: You can easily and securely send us a one-time donation through PayPal. All PayPal donors will receive recognition on the site in thanks.
Patreon: You can also support us on Patreon, where you can get a number of backer rewards, including recognition on the site in thanks, a chance to shape the direction of the site’s content, and access to exclusive content.
At the end of the day, My Dpad is very grateful for our readers, and we would love to be able to provide great video game content for years to come.
