Incidentally, I’m confused over the fact that so few sites or people seem to use Flattr, despite it basically solving this problem. (Well, it’s microdonations rather than micropayments, so you can’t really require your users to pay anything, but still.)

Can you tell where the microdonation comes from? It seems to me that you could pull a kickstarter-like business model and promise goods/services in exchange for a donation up front.

Which came first, the massive user base or the many clients? Looks like a classic chicken-egg problem to me.
Edit to add: Which being said, I just signed up for it as a creator. :)
I’ve not noticed websites I like using flattr, so I have no reason to sign up for it.
Very few people use it, so it’s not worth it for sites to sign up for it.

People can choose to donate either anonymously or non-anonymously, so I guess that it could work.
