   @brooke this is why I cancelled my account and started donating via Kofi instead. They also get all the money.

     @mattl @brooke To be clear: Ko-Fi takes 5% of everything but one-off-donations and crowdfunding goals; they take 5% of recurring-donations, memberships, and sales. They might also take the 5% of the one-off donations and crowdfunding too (so 5% of everything), if the creator has enabled various features. https://help.ko-fi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002506494-Does-Ko-fi-take-a-fee

     Still better than Patreon's 8+%.

     It’s also better because they do one thing: taking money and giving it to people without any apps or other nonsense.

     I also seem to pay my Kofi payments directly to the person. I give $3 and I see a PayPal payment for $3?
