You don't have to pay people to get the content though? I don't think anyone is being dishonest in asking for money to support their otherwise completely free creative work, and suggesing that they don't is just entitlement on the part of the viewer instead, coupled with the view that creative pursuits a) arent worth anything and b) are more 'pure' if you do them without any compensation. Artists gotta eat too.
