Thanks for the feedback. Indeed I'm not capturing the supporters with your concerns.

However, I get immediate cash access to a donation (recurring or otherwise), and almost everyone covers the transaction fee. This feels less centralized and gimicky than Patreon -- at the cost of losing sokoloff.

You could A/B test showing Patreon to a subset of your users (or in different positions) and see if Patreon gives you enough incremental lift to cover their higher vig.

It’s not about sokoloff. It’s about what gives your group the most net income after all fees and factors.
