    any particular reason why there are 2 monthly payment options?

      Well there are 49 subscribed people on patreon totaling $170/month. Lots of people probably already have accounts set up which makes it a very low threshold to join.

      Meanwhile on librepay, arguably more philosophically suitable, there are 11 subscribers totaling $13/month.

      Man, considering how many people I have seen saying how great it is to be able to pay, and asserting they are making donations, those are very low numbers.

        Could be because it is less circulated. I had seen the coffee option previously but didn’t realise the other 2 options had been setup until I came across this comment.

        I think @neshient is likely to be right. IIRC something like 800 people have been donating via Buy Me A Coffee.

      I’m not Ernest but my guess is it gives us greater flexibility?

      Like, some of us are already active on one or the other of those platforms, plus between them there are lots of different options for amount. I’d never heard of Liberapay but I like how it’s a non-profit.
