That’s exactly it, IMO. The ability to donate tiny amounts with almost-zero fees, preferably directly through my existing banking system (probably using some middleware like Osko which works flawlessly and I use almost daily, invisibly via my bank). I don’t have the expendable income to support every single creator I’d like to via Patreon/etc, and I also don’t like their livelihoods being dependent on a single company who can ruin them based on some arbitrary algorithmic magic box of reasons. I’d happily contribute small amounts based on individual content that I liked though, and spread my money wider that way.
