I have let blogs use my photos and other YouTube channels use my clips without asking for money . From my experience i knew video streamers go behind a paywall and fall in obscurity and those that were donation based thrived. Paywalls are a complete turnoff but I have donated more frequently over time to content makers I liked. Sometimes larger sums to pick up the perceived slack from others. Like if wikipedia went behind a paywall, people would look for other sites.
That's nice of you. If everyone thought and behaved like you do, we wouldn't have a problem.
Tragically, most people don't give donations. To anything, ever.
Aaaaaand that's why open-source gets taken advantage of by traditional market driven organizations that buy and sell.
