I'm aware that there are still mods locked behind patreon, like 1-2 Minecraft shaders for example.
What I don't really want to see in the future, is the vast majority of mods/modders locking all the mods behind patreon walls, because by that time we'll have little that is free and the rest being paid, which would just end up making a game that is either broken or not cost more in total.
I feel like people want to turn their hoibbies into serious jobs because their current job is either mundane/stressful or pays less, and to that I'd just suggest finding a new job, or trying to make a change within where it is you work, instead of not looking for a new job and trying to enforce this change where a once free passionate hobby, gets morphed into the next big bad practice that gets heavily abused and monetised to shit.
Like again, I'm all for tip jars, those are always going to be viable, and we see those from plenty of artists and youtubers, streamers even, instead of them all outright holding all content and locking it entirely behind a wall (the only content I've seen artists lock are higher res images, streamers and youtubers tend to lock outtakes and bonus footage that isn't as important).
I just wish people would realise that if you turn one hobby into your lifelong job and make it paid, people will only end up doing this for nearly every hobby, and then within a century or two, you're going to see not much hobbying done for free or through actual passion, but instead purely for money.
