I agree on the PayPal front...I don't have a Patreon account, so it's not just donating, I have to click "join", which is a quick turn off

- toastal 5y agoHow is this any different? Some people don't have PayPal accounts. Is one proprietary, closed-source platform better than the other in this scenario? I'm not a Patreon user (but have an old account), but at least they don't require a "real" phone number, and don't have a terrible CAPTCHA system to log in.
- petee 5y agoWell if you want donations from the most people possible, then yes PayPal is a way better option just on popularity alone - 6 versus 377 million users, or 491mil for GoFundMe, who doesn't require an account to donate. Some people have had PayPal accounts for a decade plus, like me. I'm really not about to make a transaction with a random company simply cause I don't need to enter my phone number.
