https://liberapay.com/ is a great 3rd party middleman / alternative to Patreon that doesn’t take a cut of payments (so arguably the best of all worlds).

They state that they use Stripe and PayPal as payment processors. Not clear to me why someone would want to use an additional layer, although it is nice that they take an additional cut of payments on top of the processor.

You meant to say: it is nice that they [Liberapay] don't take an additional cut of payments on top of the processor.
