I loved it because it removed the cognitive load of a buying decision: “how much is this worth to me?” Instead: “do I want to support this creator?” If payment rails are in place, why not offer that monetization mode to creators who don’t like paywalls? For podcasters it worked wonders back then!

Any case studies you can point to about this working out well for creators? It's interesting but I think in most cases not as good for creators. Would love to read about folks who found real success with this model.

Afaik worked very well for early adopting podcast creators (eg @tim.pritlove.org) I believe in atp contexts micro-donation/funding schemes are way easier to implement and way harder to shut down by platform operators. But key thing for me is still: remove the ‘is worth this price?’ cognitive load.
