you’re either aware of the problem and want to encourage people to vote third party while pretending not to know how the system works or you’re actually just ignorant to the issu

false dichotomy

FPTP voting systems result in a 2 party system and simply voting for another party does not solve the issue.

this isn't an immutable natural law.

I'm not sure you want to rely on Patreon in any case, since it also relies on the retention of rights for profit. In your scenario, when they upload to Patreon, anyone involved could tell them to get fucked and pay the author nothing.

anyone could do that now. people still get paid.

Exactly, and since it certainly follows a long tail distribution, the rest of the 250,000 creators on patreon make a tiny fraction of that. For the vast majority of people, it doesn’t provide a primary income.

this is true for the vast majority of storytellers and artists and musicians through all of history.

any time it has worked proves you are wrong. the top 50 patreons clear over $100k a year

only one person would need to be able to live on either model to disprove your claim. since that has definitely happened, you're definitely lying.

you claim they are not feasible, but we know people do get paid through them, so you're just lying.

you recognize two well known cases where copyright is not necessary to get paid. I don't think there is even an argument at this point. have a nice day.

I didn't say that. you're making a leap of logic
