Where 88¢ goes (Oct 2)

Here's one $20 payment from a fan, on a typical platform and on ByUs. Typical platform: a 10% platform fee ($2.00), then card processing on top (2.9% + 30¢, so 88¢). You keep $17.12. ByUs, as a founding creator: a 10% fee ($2.00), with card processing included. You keep $18.00. 88¢ doesn't sound like much. With 300 fans, it's $264 a month, or $3,168 a year. What about creators after the founding spots? You start at 87% and keep more as your sales grow: 88% after a $1,000 month, up to 91% after a $2,500 month. Founding creators start at 90%, and get 91% after a $2,500 month too.
