Bcachefs Merged into the Linux 6.7 Kernel

It's currently 428 @ $2382, $5.5/per.

The pre-populated options are $20 and $100 a month, which is a lot. I think he'd get a lot more supporters if he dropped those asks to more like $1 and $5.

I should have said "paid members" instead of "supporters" to be more precise. He's currently at 432 members, but of those only 283 are paid members.

Either way, $5 is probably both the median and the mode for the payment distribution, whether you include non-paying members or not.

Its not like that more people will pay with $1. most probably the same amount will pay but he‘ll just get only 10% of the funding.

I used to support him for $1/month previously, I think it was a specific tier.

From memory I stopped because I was adding other creators and I got the impression he was doing okay.

I can't even see the pay what you like feature on the app.

Not sure about the app, but on the website, it was below the tiers. On my laptop screen, the pay-what-you-like option was below the fold.
