This sounds great!
That being said, I wonder how well this would work out for smaller projects. Spotify uses a very similar model, and from what I hear, lesser known artists make very little money on their platform.
- RileyJames 6y agoThe Spotify model is similar. The key difference is that while users pay into the pool, they don’t determine determine how the pool, or their portion of the pool, is distributed. Plays determine distribution, but not a single users plays, all plays. If all github users donations entered a single pool, and that pool was distributed to projects based on the number of clones each repo received, that would be similar to the spotify model. But I don’t believe that’s being proposed. Rather, a user sets up a donation amount, which is then distributed to the projects they include in their “sponsor pool”.
- imtringued 6y agoSpotify uses a global pool which is completely different.
