I love how immediately following:
"It is an incredibly simple process and there is no downside."
is:
"The minimum amount of money needed to continue use of Flattr is €2 (about $3) each month"
- zachbeane 16y agoAnother fun feature, from the FAQ: Can I disable/inactivate my account? - No. As long as there's money in your means account, these will be used each month. When they run out your account will be deactived until you add more funds. I signed up thinking Flattr was a way for people to pay me who hate paypal. It turns out it's not anything like that, at all. But there's no way to immediately get off Flattr and close my account, and each month they've been emailing me garbage I don't want.
- cabalamat 16y ago> I signed up thinking Flattr was a way for people to pay me who hate paypal. Maybe Flattr should do that as well. For example they could extend the service so that you could put a button on your website which when someone presses it, it pays a fixed amount from their website to yours, which could be used as an easy-to-use micropayment scheme allowing people to pay for content.
- zachbeane 16y agoYes, that would be nice, instead of the current scheme, where you sign up, have to put money down, and then get reminded monthly that you should go spread that money around. I signed up to get paid, not pay.
- zachbeane 16y agoI was wrong about this; further along in the FAQ there's an entry about "deleting" the account. I stopped reading after the "disable" question, not realizing there was a difference.
