How do fees work on Fountain?

The fee applies to each person or entity listed in the splits and the minimum fee for each split is 1 sat. PodcastIndex applies a 1% split to every podcast, which helps preserve, protect and extend the open, independent podcasting ecosystem. Other splits may also apply to the podcast you are listening to.

A 1% split for PodcastIndex also applies to every podcast, as described above.
