Yupp, you're absolutely right - if you're a millionare. If you're not, welll...
don't get me wrong, of course artist should get paid (and paid WELL) for their work, I'm an artist too, I know how it works. But still, in reality, it's just almost impossible even with a good salary to really pay for all the BL you read - especially if you have to pay for every chapter you read. And I can tell you, most of us already pays a lot for other stuffs like netflix, spotify, youtube, patreon, etc, whatever we use, becaue literally everything is a subscription nowadays, plus, there are the necessary softwares depends on our work or hobby, like ps, the adobe-family, cloud services, video editors, AI stuffs, etc.
1-5-10 dollars are not that much money, but you have to multiple it several times anyway, and that could sum a fat bill... I mean, even if you forget about the expensive streamings and stuffs, and focus only at the BL world - did you ever counted how many BL-s are you reading? I bet it's not only one or two, but 10-20-30 or more at the same time. And sometimes you join in late when the story has 20-50-60 chapters already...), and BAMM you're already at 100+ bucks in just a month so... Trust me, you don't even want to know how much money you spend on these exactly. Or how much you should spend if you really keep the rules that no piracy, and you pay every single artist and services you use.:P
With all the supposedly supported artists and necessary services, it's thousand of dollars each months. Easily.
It's just simply not realistic you pay that much (especially not for teens who are the main target for most BL-s.)
