Did I say anything to the contrary? All I'm saying is that each modder should decide for themselves. No one should tell a modder to charge, or not, or how, and no one should say that someone is less or more of a modder because of their decision. And each mod user should then decide that mods to use, just like they always have.

Modding can still earn you money through donations.

There are artists, sculptures, singers, song writers, musicians, poets, novelists, cartoonists, music producers, video artists, graphic designers, Web designers, game developers, bloggers, youtubers, twitch streamers who earn money from donations only.

Like some person said Gopher gets money from donations for his YouTube videos. All while youtube.com is still free for every person on the planet to use to watch videos.
