I'd rather just pay a subscriptiom fee (aka paywall) than buy some branded crap that i dont need....
Like, whatever a creators markup is on a tshirt, i'd rather just give them that money in susbscription fee.
Why would i buy a $55 tshirt and have have the creator take home $5? I'd rather just give them the $5
