An understandable requirement, though. It costs them money to pay out, so it's in their best interests to keep as much in-system as possible.
And it should be pointed out that while there's a 2-euro/month minimum out-going payments, that money can come from people sending you money. If they get critical mass, that shouldn't be hard to achieve.
Personally, I want more precise controls over who gets what proportion of my money. Or multi-flattring, or something. Not all flattrable-content is of equal quality.

Interesting. I was about to find a quote to prove you wrong, but you're right! You can only Flattr a thing once per month (http://flattr.com/support/faq, the "Why can I click the same flattr button again all of a sudden?" question)! That seems like a needless restriction. Allowing you to multi-Flattr a site would make a ton of sense.
I suspect part of the reason for not allowing uneven flattring is because they're really pushing a level-playing-field thing. It'd be pretty easy to handle multiple clicks, but they don't, so I strongly suspect it's a fundamental design decision.
I'm of a mixed mind on if I truly want them to change, or if it's something I accept as a positive aspect of the system. As a geek, I deeply desire control over what my money does. As a human-studier, I recognize at least some of the benefits of not having that control (enforced simplicity being a big one, as this must reach critical mass to succeed where quite a few have failed).
edit: oh, and a correction to my other post: it does not in fact cost them for you to withdraw money. It's still a useful thing for bringing more people into the mix, and this kind of system only exists if it exceeds critical mass.
