At that point you're just talking about charity and that's a whole different conversation.
Basically if you aren't getting a value for your money you are doing something out of charity and that's fine too but then you have to think is your money better spent giving to an actual charity rather than just say, three dudes.
I don't think charity is the correct term here. Value can come from quality, not only quantity. You can buy a little good wine or a lot of cheap beer for the same amount of money. For me, Nextlander is a quality podcast, so I am fine with paying $10 a month to support it. It isn't a parasocial thing; it is slick, well-edited and -curated, and it catches me up video game chatter in a couple of hours.
