See my most recent response post to this one where I recommended something similar to a Patreon model. I think it is fair if established bloggers want to be in a position to make sustainable income from their content. I think quality content or just favorite bloggers, artists, etc, are funded by subscription or patronage models.
This is not the only way but the gist of the problem seems to be that established bloggers make a sustainable income from blogging while new bloggers are struggling. Even established bloggers struggle in reality but the perception is that it's sort of an "either or" situation. I think ideally both established bloggers should be supported so as to continue to create quality content and new bloggers encouraged to create quality content to become established bloggers.
Will read @stellabelle as she was for 2016 the #1 most established blogger for a time.
