   Use distrokid insteas

   They charge you $10 per single, per year to keep it uploaded and 50 for an album (30 for the first year), so lets say you have 2 albums and 5 singles up, that's $110 for the first year and $150 every year after that, compared to distrokids $20 and unlimited uploads. And if you want to retrieve your files, they charge you a support fee. Distrokid is a flat rate of $20 per year and let's you upload as much as you want, and has a vault where they store all your album covers, audio files and metadata and any other extra details and they let you get them for free

   🏁 Competitors: DistroKid

   👍 Pros:    Good support

   👎 Cons:    Expensive

• EU NGI TALER will bring private and secure online payments to the Eurozone

  Flattr was a kind of a version of that (although billed as "donations"), and it recently shut down. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Paying Netflix $0.53/H, etc.

  There was https://flattr.com/ and, more recently, https://twitter.com/coil But, yes, a complete chicken-and-egg problem. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: Startup ideas that you'll never do?

  I think Flattr does exactly this https://flattr.com/ but it looks like they may have changed their business model recently. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Show HN: StackAid – fund 100s of open source dependencies with one subscription

  This kind of looks like https://flattr.com/ but specifically for dev/dependencies. Not sure I like that there's "only" a two-month limit in which funds can be claimed, though. Some developers could be very busy or get caught up with other stuff and not hear about their accumulated funds before the "expire". Some might also think it's a phishing scam if they haven't heard of StackAid before. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Patreon cuts deep inside creators’ pockets

  I think this is one of the problems flattr tries to solve. Instead of multiple micro transactions you make one larger transaction each month to flattr, who then divides it up to all the creators you want to support. I don't know how Patreon does it, if they make one charge for each creator you support I guess the transactions fees can become a large part of the total amount. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
