Right, so the problem is not solved and you are talking about “solutions” that have been tried before and do not work.
You know that quote about “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”? This is what is happening here.
Expecting to fund commons infrastructure through donation do not work in the long run. It’s that simple. You can try to come up with all sorts of flashy gimmicks to make the issue more visible,.but the issue will continue to exist.
If there is a new gimmick there is, by definition, a change of some kind. Which means maybe all we need to do is tweak a few very easy to tweak parameters and that will unclog the flow of money. I don’t know if that is what going to help. But not just try and see what happens?
Because it has been tried before, and there are no significant results to show.
Because these types of changes take time and effort that would be better spent elsewhere.
Because it is solving the wrong problem. The problem is not “how to unclog the flow of money”. Sending money around has never been easier. The problem is not the flow of money, the problem is that most people are not willing to give money for something unless they absolutely have to, so there is not a lot of money to be sent around.

I’m sorry. When I first saw your blog post I thought you were closer to what I’ve been saying for three years already , but it seems that you don’t have an actionable proposal.
