Summary
Liliputing said its main revenue comes from advertising and affiliate links, naming Skimlinks, Amazon, Rakuten Advertising and eBay in a disclosure to readers.
The site also asked for direct support through Patreon and PayPal, pitching those options to readers who use ad blockers or avoid online shopping.
A “Shop” button at the top of the page routes some purchases through Amazon, generating a small commission for the site.
Liliputing added that readers seeing an ad-blocker pop-up, including with uBlock Origin, can use a guide to disable it.
