My concern is that feedback and trust mechanisms aren’t good. Even the best of us I think would struggle to produce quality work without a boss and coworkers and deadlines. If organizations are actually just using gratipay to pay their employees without taxes, there are some legal concerns. People don’t take kindly to allegations of tax-dodging, and if something like this were to get out, it would probably hurt donations.
