    The two options for compensating a creator for their work online are advertisements or direct payments. There are no other functional alternatives. In a better world, more countries would have grants or universal basic income, but that’s not the world that exists right now.

      What I’m saying is extremely poor people don’t have to support anyone and nobody should ever force them or make them feel guilty like you’re doing. The creator can also make their content completely or partially paywalled like what RCE is doing for example.
