I never saw the amount of the donations as a limitation in the platform. Maybe the fact that it is so easy to setup many donations push donors to spread out their money too much? The amount of the donations was always the number one complaint I saw against getting donations through this platform...
Personally I don't think I want to use them anymore if they move away from recurring donations to giving it all at once, like the blog post suggests.

It may be OK in the end, but I'm disappointed that they are deciding to say "it is closing" when things haven't been anything like that from what I can see. I've seen similar problems with people going "oh my god the sky is falling" and making pretty overstated claims about things...
