Flattr fascinates me, but it has this big problem. A site like the one I work for isn't going to use it because the Flattr user base isn't big enough to make it worthwhile. They need big sites onboard, though, or they'll never get the coverage necessary to make it worthwhile.
I think the title for this could be "Flattr doesn't work because there aren't enough Flattr users".
- AndrewMoffat 16y agoSounds like a very difficult wall to get over. I imagine most people will hear about Flattr through a blog or some service accepting payments with it. Only if they're curious enough about it will they go find out what it is, and then once they understand that they work of registering is so that other people can have their money, they have to still be compelled to signup and use it. Unless each blog/service using it makes it explicit that they're accepting flattr donations, but nobody wants to be that site sounding like they're begging for handouts.
