Note that with rare exceptions, creators are not supported by your purchases. Rather the studios, labels and publishers wh cheat creators are.
If you want to support the creators, pay them directly, or go to one of their performances / signings / functions. But still pirate their work.
That's what I always do. There are smaller creators that I support via donations or patreon but I never pay directly for the content itself.
