I'm not too surprised. Gumroad was bought by venture capital, found not profitable enough. Bought back by the founder. And maintained by a lightweight team.

    1,000 bps⁉ And not including credit card processing fees? That's a good business to be in!

      Are there any competitors? Seems a lot for a commodity service

        https://backed.by https://backed.by launched yesterday. It's a decentralized Patreon competitor that only takes 1% I actually want to make a dedicated post about it cause it seems like an actually interesting utility of web3, but I also know a lot of people might just see web3 and automatically downvote.

          Does it support real currency too? Doesn't matter what the cut is if it's a percentage of $0/month E: the getting started page could do with being whittled down, linking someone to this and still expecting donations is ambitious! https://backed.by/pages/get-started https://backed.by/pages/get-started
