Subject: Re: can't pay a penny for a thought
real query :
are there middlemen getting a cut of screen tip payments ? (flat fee, or %)
maybe not the franchise, but possibly software vendor as a toll for the tipping feature.
what about credit cards, as per total vendor charge fee?

and in the golden age of grift, i would not put it above any middlemen creating their own tax-free accounting bucket. frankly, rather quaint in a kleptocracy.
