> With this model, I have to (1) decide my overall monthly donation (2) decide if this content is worth donating to (3) remember to click the donate button. Sure, none of these actions is particularly onerous but it adds up over my day and I don't get any (additional) benefit from doing them. I'm confused when you say "it adds up over my day", since (1) is a one-time action you take when signing up to Flattr (e.g. I chose to donate £10 per month). I also wouldn't distinguish between (2) and (3): clicking the button is choosing to donate. > When I choose to subscribe to a creator, it is because I expect to derive sustained benefit from their work. That long(ish) term expectation of benefit is what motivates me to take the additional effort. Yet you could subscribe to a creator with Flattr for less effort (literally just click any of their Flattr buttons twice within a month; no need to "choose an amount" or anything). I'm very confused about how you think Flattr worked...
