It's not about the "authority to make these demands", it's about realizing that these artists are people too, and motivation is a big factor in creating and sharing this stuff. Artists should ALWAYS have the right to demand pay for their work. People don't like it? Then make it yourself. You don't have the time or skill or equipment? That's why you're paying these people, because *they* do. I mean, all kudos to people who share this stuff for free, that's awesome. But with the time and effort that goes into this stuff, I don't blame anyone for asking for money.

In ayaswan's case, if he's not giving you value out of his patreon, stop supporting him, simple as that.
