Join the Communick Collective. Set up a fixed budget (let's say $10/month) and then split that however you want between the people you want to help. This solves the micropayments issue and would show creators still addicted to Youtube revenue that valuable contributions will be rewarded.

I'm already paying my instance and lemmy and kinda loyal to it. I'd alsp like to properly support the software i use before trying to support content creators. One day in the future something like communick would be appealing.

The website says 20% of the profit is donated? Does that mean to charities?

This is separate from the Communick Collective. The collective is just a way for people to support creators directly. My pledge of 20% is for the underlying projects. I am pledging to donate 20% of the profits to Mastodon, Lemmy, Matrix Foundation, Funkwhale, GoToSocial, Pixelfed, etc.

For that to happen Communick needs first to turn a profit, though.
