Hi everyone, Cheers Cofounder here. We're trying to make the world a smaller place, connecting fans with those that make what they love, and enabling content creators. We'd love to hear feedback on our platform. Cheers!

Any plans/interest in supporting dogecoin tips (sent as dogecoin to the artists). There community around dogecoin is, generally speaking, more amenable to tipping.

Yes! We're planning to integrate as many payment options as possible so this is definitely in the works.

If you don't take any fee from the tip, how does your product intend to make money? Just curious.

Good question. For now we're just trying to make a product that both fans and artists are excited about and will use - a product we'd want to use. And since our initial product is tipping, we're committed to never taking a fee on these transactions. In the future, we may build-out a premium artist account, allowing them to get analytics around what is being Cheered, and built a platform for them to engage with and grow their fanbase. Additionally, while tipping will always be free, we could turn on product commerce where we may take a small fee.

My main concern is that I don't see how they get any money out of it. Normally I'm fine with free services, for obvious reasons, but it strikes me as concerning that this requires quite a bit of work and money, both over the long term, but they have no visible payoff. The only way I see it being viable in the long term is if they take our money. I'd like to see this as a % fee of some sort but I worry that it is either doomed or a scam.
