I think you can argue that this still isn't fair.

I see these numbers but it doesn't hold much weight for me. My wife is an admin for a non-profit atmospheric research company and I see all of the work they have to do. Endless paperwork and red tape to raise money, to pay money, to or

interesting. you can't afford to compensate all of the creators whose content you consume, so none of them shall receive compensation? there is no obligation, it's just a good and kind thing to do.
