Even those are solvable problems, the real issue is social. There's a reason Flattr failed and Patreon has been a huge success. People would rather personally support a handful of creators at $5/month than put the equivalent money in a tip jar at a bunch of faceless websites.

Historically, there have been a lot of people eager to erect barriers to make payments difficult for those who want to gamble, sell porn, buy porn, donate to controversial political causes, avoid taxes, sell drugs, buy drugs, etc etc So a system that lets me send $40/month of untraceable cash to strangers on the internet might face a lot of opposition.

- AndrewStephens 3y agoYou can send $40 a month easily but receiving $40 a month from 20000 people is difficult and will raise questions.
