Now getting anything in return? People do tip waiters don't they? All they do is bring you your food, that you've paid for anyway. Creators on the internet give you a lot more in my experience. And it's definitely a voluntarily thing to "flattr" them...

The cake is a lie.

This is amazingly great idea. It's just poorly advertised. If this would be merged with say, a facebook "like" button, this would solve a huge amount of piracy problems. No problems for me tipping people when there seems to be a max so I don't accidently spend too much. And in my country there's no tipping culture at all.

THE CAKE IS A LIE

The flattr button has been visible on a gaming site for over 2 months and only 5 people has pushed it.

Here on YT the most creative video makers get money for the amount of subscribers/creations from YT. I think they also get money for having commercials on their vids? Then if i like it i simply click the like button to show my appreciations. Which for me is a better way of showing my appreciations, since i am a very poor woman who hasn`t got a lot of money to "play" around with. Or else i would happily spend some dimes on products i think are well made.

Don`t mean to sound totally negative, i am speaking for those who might not have much money to spare and only use it for what is necessary. Its not fair to give poorer people a bad conscience because they can`t show their appreciation by paying money for it. Sometimes i feel as if the creator should have some money.

I guess this idea works better for people who are used to the "tipping" culture.

i am skeptic about this idea because poor people will not pay, so its divided.

I am thinking that if you want to earn money you have to sell something. Its a little like giving money to all the street performers in the streets. In the end no money left!. What i do think works is an entrance fee to the most popular sites.

Could it be Pizza?

I think where the story ends is when it comes to the small fee.

This video is so patronizing because of the lame cake metaphor.
