Is it actually better? There are things like open collective and GitHub sponsors too... Choices are great, but the choices aren't clear
No idea, I don't use either. I don't even know what you mean by "better" in this context.
I mean, does it pay creators better/does it actually do the job of funding someone better? i.e. what's the advantage? Is it just kind of a meaningless difference or will creators benefit?
They pay creators your entire donation minus the cost to do donation. They only make money from their own donation page.
Thanks; good to know!
