People don't really care about (micro)payments and paypal actually does work just fine for one time events. Easier for people to list an email then signup for another service to get a few dollars.

Also Flattr is owned by the Adblock Plus company now which has questionable history.

Their main business case got taken by Patreon, which is more popular due to more reliable income on the creator side.
