Does that imply people should paywall everything? Giving stuff for free was always a business model. They even give you free physical things in brick-and-mortar shops with the hope that you will like and buy more.

Everything is a set of tradeoffs, that doesn't mean everything is as good as everything else.

What i said goes directly to this. I can donate during or after i hear a podcast. 

Value 4 value is not "unsound," it's just a set of tradeoffs. See my longer comment in another thread.

Buying versus donating

You're missing the point. I am not saying everybody should paywall everything. That is not my point at all.
