My initial comments are that I see they take 20% of donations to cover paypal and their own costs, so I wouldn't stop having a straight paypal donate button.
And they seem geared toward news, so unless they got enough creative people as site owners to have different categories, people might bounce away very quickly, without reading, only because they were looking for a different kind of content.

I hunted around on their blog and their website, but I didn't see that part. *sigh* 20% is high for a commission; I'm not happy about that. But if the service has a tendency to route extra readers to a site, there should be some extra money from that.

Well, they posted a comment on this community, so it looks like they are interested in attracting more and different types of content including fiction. The service is only in beta testing so far -- I suspect they will add categories as they gain more content, since most places do that.
