While I agree, part of the problem is most people have limited funds... a matter only getting worse with price hikes. Even if you can afford it, you have to pick between this, maybe a Patreon or two of your favorite artists, some common subscriptions, etc.., people are likely to go with what brings them perks or services. Donations come from leftover funds when people are secure, something nobody ever has anymore.

Ad based revenue is basically the way you can include a large chunk of people in a world with vast wealth disparities. It's that, or you rely on big donors.

Sure, but people are still paying, it’s just that the costs are passed down and obfuscated downstream. That burger you buy comes with a 2% advertisement premium. It’s not that people won’t pay with their limited funds, it’s that their priorities have shifted along with the mainstream model.
