Aaahhh....well I see from their TOU, the Flattr takes 10% of the donations
that the site owner (account) receives. That seems like a hefty chunk, when
considering these are called "microdonations".
And it looks like Patreon takes 5% for themselves, and additional 2 to 5%
for credit card fees. And there are some fees for using PayPal too.
I'd be willing to *help* with these -- like maintaining the webpages,
moderating comments, if that's needed. But I certainly don't have the info
needed to set up the accounts, or arrange where donations are received.
All best,
brynn
