I really appreciate their current model: they ask for a voluntary amount of
long-term donation right after sign-up. The default value is zero.
I was impressed by this and committed a small weekly sum.

The statistics show that currently the users of liberapay honor this
open approach: the group [1], the founder [2] and the organization [3] of
liberapay collect a combined sum of 420 Euros per week. This is quite
impressive, considering that currently approximately 2200 Euros are distributed
per week [4] among all creators.
This funding ratio (currently almost 20%) will surely drop with a growing number
of users. In general the strategy looks very healthy and honest to me.

Cheers,
Lars
