Funnily enough, I've just written a blog post about the Stefan Molyeneux model of funding through donations, and compared it with the Steemit model. To the smallism philosophy the Steemit model is better because it distributes more widely. Take Patreon. Once you've pledged your $10 for ten creators, all the other creators you watch get nothing. Is that fair? This is the same argument.

Lastly, your anachronistic argument is anachronistic.
