Well, guess what! It's a hassle for the majority of the world who don't use the greenback. I don't intuitively know what today's exchange rate is. I suspect you don't either.
Ideally, you'd geo-detect the user and offer them a currency suitable to their location. If that's not possible, let creators choose their own currency.
If you think I'm making a fuss over nothing, listen to some UK based podcasts. They all end with the hosts asking for a Patreon contribution - and then apologising that it's only available in dollars.
