  1. Has anybody noticed that the #micropayment service #Flattr was shut down in January? Not me! I had a Flattr button on my first, self-programmed website. But as far as I remember I never received a donation via this system. Also #Kachingle, which was absolutely unknown in Germany, seems to have disappeared. #webdev

  2. @funcrunch @medium @coachtony I still think that #Flattr, #Kachingle, #PayPal, #Patreon or just selling good work directly without #DRM (just let me pay via #SMS) is way more convenient.

  3. @valkyrie Exactly the same as with #BigMedia which out of snobbish Elitism rather wants to #Paywall shit with asshole-level #Subscriptions rather than improve content quality and switch to #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle or even single-article purchases...

  4. @GreenFire imagine if :activitypub: instance would offer such tiers via :patreon: , #flattr, #kachingle or :paypal: like the "priority queue" on 2b2t.

    One thing we've to also account for is that #TwitterBlue and #TwitterGold are the only ways to get #API restrictions lifted, and I'm quite convinced major news outlets like @heiseonline or @ntv got those #GoldBadges for free as they would've likely threatened to quit #Twitter if they can't continue to use their toolchain to post stuff...

  5. @shipp @EposVox ...because #YouTube knows that #ChannelMemberships will keep #BigChannels on their platform and not leave it as easily as if they used #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle or any other Off-Platform - Crowdfunding instead...

  6. @rocrym @badtux @MattHodges

    There are several options for that, like #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle and single-purchase articles that can be paid via #SMS and #PayPal or even #Monero...

    Seriously, none of these options is new...

  7. @walsonde @tarnkappeinfo +9001%

    besonders wichtig sind Werkzeuge wie 12ft.io/ für jene ewiggestrigen Medien die sich verweigern #Patreon, #Kachingle, #Flattr oder auch nur #SMS-Billing für Einzelartikelkäufe umzusetzen!

  8. @chrisheuer @TomLarrow Yes and No.

    I think it's big & established mainstream medias' unwillingness to rethink monetarization and do what most modern creators do:
    Use better options like #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle & Co.

    Even worse: #digital is usually offered at worse terms than #paper just out of spite:
    I can buy a newspaper once and keep the copy ad-inifinitium but oftentimes they dark-pattern users into subscriptions that cost more than a print copy!

  9. @ttk Ich finde #Abozwang allzuoft shice weil's kein #Mehrwert bringt.

    Statt #Abos, #Paywall & #Loginwall sollten auch traditionelle Modelle Lösungen wie #Patreon, #Kachingle, #Flattr & Co. nutzen oder einen genauso bequemen #Einmalkauf anbieten wie die Printausgabe.

    Also #digital konsequent billiger als #print mit der Option auf #Einzelkauf der #Artikel - natürlich alles #DRM-frei als #ePub & #PDF!

    [können ja zur Not jene Seiten watermarken um Piraterie zu verfolgen!]

  10. @DanielLuecking @ndaktuell möglichst barrierearm. #Patreaon, #Flattr, #Kachingle und andere Spendenoptionen kommen gut.

    Und wenn #Paywalling, dann bitte #bequem und einfach (Einzelkauf der Digitalausgabe z.B. per #SMS)...

    #Abozwang ist nen #Downgrade zu gedruckter Ausgabe!

  11. @LorenzMeyer *nickt zustimmend*

    Seiten mit #AdblockerBlocker sind eine Pest und verdienen die Pleite.

    Sollen's gefälligst lernen #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle & Co. zu nutzen wie #SmallCreators es seit Jahren tun...
