Community has become extremely commercialized

I know food costs money and content creators are entitled to some payment but it's been taken to the extreme in the past few years... every site which was historically centered around community building and user relationships is now centered around subscriptions and payment.
Models who don't seek to monetize everything are few and far between... contrast that with 2009-2016 where not only was most content freely available, but relationships with content creators felt more genuine and less exploitative.
Genuinely connecting with anyone feels a lot harder, while back in the day I would shoot a model a message and we would end up chatting over on kik and they would treat you more like a person than a piggybank. Of course I don't mind supporting where I can but the prevalent attitude of pay to chat really sucks.
Anyway this is the way of the world I guess, I can't see things ever reverting so there's no point complaining about it, won't stop me
Anyone else reminisce on the halcyon days?
