The fact that you disagree with the explanation due to ideological purity reasons is not grounds for downvoting it.
These are all your words, not theirs. They didn't suggest this at all.

This is true, but:
1) I didn't downvote it (I literally can't)
2) There are other good reasons to downvote it, such as what I linked.
Unless you have something more to say about cyrpto I think we should leave this here.
I'm failing to understand how you could have read what I wrote and come to the conclusion I didn't suggest that, given that I literally said it was not realistic.
Use bank transfer or better yet instead, purchase gifts for the creator on their Amazon, Etsy, etc wishlist in exchange for content or use gift cards.
The above solutions are way better than crypto as it's mostly used for crime and illicit transactions and speculation.
Modern blockchain payment systems (see Base) have transaction fees that are an order of magnitude cheaper than any trad processors; they don’t discriminate based on moral grounds; transactions settle in seconds rather than days; they are not bound to only certain countries; funds are not custodially held by a single centralized tech company; the list goes on.
Much of the rationale for anti-crypto among communities that would most benefit from it (eg: NSFW art) is ill conceived and held together by an almost religious zeal.
