I think calling them tips has taken on legal slash CYA purposes, makes it harder to refund than a "donation" (the former internet name for it, not quoting you) which has its own legal meaning regarding registered charities making it easily chargeback-able
If I buy a boost from Twitter than decide I prefer the money, I can't ethically say that I didn't get what I paid for but I'd probably win a chargeback if I did.
Calling it a tip everyone, including the dinosaurs at Visa Mastercard and Paypal, knows what it means
- zeven7 5y agoCrypto handouts have been called "tips" for several years, long before Twitter was involved. There's of course even a crypto called TIPS[1] dating back to 2014. During that time Bitcoin and Dogecoin tips were common on Reddit crypto communities (and even other subreddits).
