>Patreon Doesn't allow you to do that
You can set your own tiers and how much you get.
No sane company would limit what people can earn.

Can't compare.
The poor countries which make up a majority of consumers do nothing but pirate content for various reasons.
>If everyone pirated whatever new netflix show the studio wouldn't have the money to fund the next project
One pays for the netflix sub, not for specific content but to have access to a library. Some people who have a netflix sub, don't necessarily mean they did when they did to watch or support squid game.
Netflix is the one who manages funds. The customer have no say in what gets funded or not.
How netflix even operates would need another whole ass thread altogether.
>videogames wouldn't be made if everyone pirated
Yes, but also you can't compare it to pictures of naked fotm anime grills. The drive to buy games is not to "support the developer", but safely 80% of the time it's because the consumers wants the product or in the case of live services, the consumer gets something in return for paying.

Anyway your argument is
>if no one paid, no one would do
Which isn't completely correct based on that we get an endless stream of new content and creators eager to gain attention on their work in hopes to earn with it thanks to social media.

Most normies couldn't give two shits about whether someone can make content, especially bland or kitschy content in an already oversaturated field.
>the correct thing to do is to donate
No, it is not the "correct thing", because no one owes anyone anything.
You offer product, i pay for product.
Can get product for free? I keep money.
You want to donate to creators? You do you, but don't preach to me about donating or else no content.
When no content, not my problem, i seek other content.
This is the average consumer mindset.

Anon, even live streamer donations are done in a transactional manner.
