"If people think Patreon is making a killing with their fee structure, they should build a competitor."
>> Yes! And honestly this could be applied in so many places where people like to complain, and yet nobody builds a competitor, or they do and it ends up looking like the original. So easy to complain, so hard to do better.
If Patreon took 75% commission of small payments, people would be outraged and quit the platform. You’re right that “fair” can mean many things, but a percentage is, in my view, the least objectionable way to do it.
