> Reddit and Twitch
Are those examples we want to emulate in broader society though? At various points in my life, I have used both of those services extensively. I have never spent money on Reddit, despite being a registered user for 12+ years. I lurked for a year or two at least before creating an account.
On Twitch, I did have a free Prime sub that I would use, but I never spent any more on the service. I'm admittedly behind on the meta now, but is it even possible to give a streamer 1 "bit"? Or is there a minimum requirement of 10 or 50 bits? When I watch streams, I see some people donate with bits, but it seems like a way to save the user from making multiple purchases in a row, rather than a new paradigm of wealth transfer. "Hey, I'm gonna buy 500 bits now and donate 50 per stream" as opposed to needing to pull out the credit card on streamlabs or paypal 5 times a week.
