Perhaps rather than providing preset subscription fees, simply present the fixed costs(credit transaction costs, e.g.) and ask people to put in as much as they think subscription is worth?

If the website told you what percentage of your money actually makes it to lwn you might consider higher rates - If I subscribed 50c per month then maybe only 5% of my money would make it through the various taxes/fees whereas if at 2$5 80% of the money goes to lwn, then I would choose the latter rate.

That approach works for several other groups to which I'm involved.
