Assuming that updates are made once every three months on average, I don't know if it's worth paying $196.5 to receive one update.
But I understand that money may be like dust to you.
However, the reason people talk about subscribers' spending behavior is not because of the amount is large or small, but because of what the behavior means.
Sponsorship can sometimes be a way of expressing support or another way of voting.
I try not to pass judgment on this, as each individual may have different standards as to whether this developer is worthy of sponsorship.
However, if the subscribers' actions mean that this developer's actions are justified or that this developer's way of doing things should be maintained, then I am against it.
I never said "don't let support this developer," but I did say "some of their subscribers are either zombies or don't seem to care about what they're spending."
Because, as you said, to me it is not 'money' but 'votes'.
The way to change developer behavior is for subscribers to change their own behavior first.
If subscribers don't change, there's no reason for developers to change.
This is so common sense.
And when I looked at the recent graph, it seems like subscribers are starting to change.
