@hkalic Because creators can't continue to create content without donations. Donating directly to the artists is what's needed; and this provides it. And it's not a "monthly fee", you click a Flattr button on a creators' site and donate a small amount of money.

Why would we need any other payment medium now that we have flattr?

i really admire you!

[hkalic]

Why would I, as a consumer, would want to pay (monthly fee) for stuff i can consume free? Or am I missing something?

Micropayments have been waiting for a proper online implementation. And TPB's Peter Sunde has all the right socio-political cred. for being the right person to do it.
