I can understand if fans don't want to pay or are distrustful because a creator is unreliable, but honestly that's not even what I see half the time. Most of the time I see people bitching just because the comic artist dare even brings up the dirty word "money." The secret itself wasn't even specific in saying they don't like the "maybe" but that they dislike when artists "hold content hostage" which really could mean they get annoyed at any content under a pay barrier.

Like I've said, I've seen people get hate even when the content absolutely was not effected and the artist simply advertised for them self. Even if content is effected, no one owes someone anything if they aren't a paying member. Why I think fans are entitled is because there seems to be this consistent attitude of "How dare you do something with YOUR webcomic that *I* don't like even though I've never contributed anything and you are the one who does all the work and takes on all the costs it takes to produce."

I just don't understand why the creator is the asshole for trying to do what they need to do to keep creating because this is the real world and time can cost. I think it's way more of an asshole move to bitch about people who in reality owe you absolutely nothing.

I haven't seen any of the behavior you mention myself (except maybe with OotS, but that's maybe a wee bit different since a lot of it was Kickstarter-rewards bitching iirc), but I believe you, just based on my own experiences with hella entitled people on the internet. I could not believe anyone could be that entitled, but they were.

This is where I think making a clear link between what the money does helps. There will always be some people (maybe they're really spoiled or have never had to work) who won't get it, but a lot of people who might have whined will see the benefits to more money to the artist when it's mentioned.
