If that was true how come people are making living creating stuff with Patron supporters?
Not everyone has to do it, but there is enough of people to keep creativity free from influance ad companies.
I have a few people donating money to me on Patreon so I'm not arguing against that. I'm just saying that the majority does not actually want to pay for things, but that doesn't mean people can't make a living out of the minority that does. That's not the topic of this conversation though (see the line you replied to).
Do you have a source for that? I'd be interested in reading the studies.
