They are an American tech company. From what I remember, they did try to heavily raise fees and worsen the experience on their platform "my next trillion users ... life changing blah blah .. my ARPU", but then backed off when they got public pushback. They will do it again when they think they can get away with it. Better to use something like [liberapay](https://liberapay.com/). That's what I use to donate to Piefed development and I've been meaning try and pitch this platform to my Patreon list.

How is 10% reasonable. They just transfer money from A to B while showing people some static html text about the options. They basically do nothing.

Patreon stopped being benevolent years ago when they changed their pricing model to exploit small donors more. Send money directly using Monero. Avoid as much 'overhead' as possible.
