One alternative to get LWN were we as readers want it to be is: Have more subscribers! So if we want to be of use as a community, we could run a reader induced campaign.

As the editor wrote:

To be on the safe side, having multiple sources of income is usually a better choice for a business (unless you're a monopoly and know your clients will always need you.)

Therefore, the subscribers-only way isn't really an answer here.

What I am saying is that if we as subscribers want to help LWN, winning more subscriber could be another idea. Still it is good to find someone for the advertisment business, it does not exclude each other.
