Clicking on a Gittip&#x2F;Flattr&#x2F;Patreon badge or looking up a donation Bitcoin address are always worth a sad chuckle.<p>That you&#x27;ve given out a whole schmeckle in a year isn&#x27;t much of a counterpoint.<p>It&#x27;s like when someone would tip you $0.002 on Reddit back when people still used CoinTip: insult for the receiver while making the giver feel like they made a difference -- altogether a net negative for the world.
