My girlfriend has a blog (on nail polish, of all things), and even not very notorious bloggers have "free samples" sent to them, and the more notorious ones certainly do have monetary offers.

Consumers themselves paying, I don't see it that often, but there's the "donations" model that seems to be popular among streamers, etc., I haven't donated myself but I could see myself doing so.
