This month, 3 fonts, 3 retailers, my scores:

- itch.io: completely unknown for pro fonts. Completely customisable landing page, products, uploads, prices, and revenue share. No gatekeeping. 5/5
- dafont: 17 month submission lag. one-shot no edits. gatekeeping with mysterious criteria, no direct revenue. Lose your font in a sea of millions. 3/5
- Monotype: Weird 2FA app. Buggy, slow, frustrating "foundry platform". Weird gatekeeping. Lose your font in a sea of millions. 1/5
