Sure. You're not like most consumers however, and a business cannot rely on consumers like you in order to stay alive. Services like Patreon are also different in that the product is not the rewards, those are just the bonus, the product itself is giving support to the creator. Imagine if you'd buy a service like Patreon that just takes your money and gives nothing to the creator, I'd assume not, so you can see how the product is creator support.
