Sorry, but I don’t think what you said is correct. People love supporting others and it happens all the time to many creators. Sorry your experience was negative.

There is a massive gap between the aspirations of online consumers, and actual consumer behavior.
People will never ever support creators, that’s the bottom line. People are greedly little fucks and they like it. Don’t fool yourself.
I say this as a former massive streamer will millions of watched hours. People. Are. Shit.

I think it has a lot to do with people not having enough money. I’d love to support every creator I like but its simply not possible. If we’d all earn enough money the creators would earn more as well.

Exactly! Sometimes I feel I do not support creators/open source projects enough, but then I remember I’m dead poor and sometimes can’t afford food without going into debt, so hey, I’m not quite in the position to.
And there are quite a lot of people like me. Once the situation improves a little, they first improve their standards of living a little, they get to afford and buy things they long needed, and only then can they actually spare money to support someone or something.
Many don’t get to the latter part for a long while.
