In terms of getting paid: As a content creator, I'd like the barrier to entry to be as small as possible. Youtube Views being the lowest, what's the draw for this over Patreon, or even a Paypal?
Good question. It's nice to be able to receive payments without relying on a company. Even if Peepeth.com goes down, you could still be in business on other front-ends (back-end data is open, anyone can build competing front-ends).
