The problem with Patreon is that it is the opposite of micropayments. It's handful of people paying a small selection of people. It helps of course but I'm subscribed to well over a hundred Youtube channels (many of which have Patreon accounts) and I'm simply not able to pay all of them a significant amount because that would be too expensive and I'm reluctant to cherry pick just a few because that would be unfair to the others. And I don't want to micromanage a hundred plus micro payments assuming that's even possible. But I'd have no trouble to have say 10$ per month distributed among them. It would have to be easy, fair, transparent, and automated. Even if it's just 1 cent; that adds up to interesting money if you get thousands to millions of views per month. I had never heard of Liberapay. But it definitely looks very interesting. And they seem to be handling some non trivial amounts of cash despite being relatively small. I noticed Aurelien Pierre is on it apparently and I actually do enjoy his content and work (he works on and publishes about Darktable). Something like that with millions of users paying every month would sustain quite a few content creators; even if the individual payments are small. It's one of those things where a critical mass of content creators need to join for this to start working.
