Here's the thing: the rest of life (rent, food, retirement etc.) cost so much already that anything I can get for free or don't have to pay for in some way I will make that choice to pirate or not pay. If capitalism wasn't breathing down my neck with all this crazy inflation in food costs, rent increases, student loan repayments, etc., perhaps I would be more amenable to paying for newspapers and online services and all that nice to have stuff. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Rent and food come first for me. Online services are fungible. Like if it's free to use or free to take, I'll take advantage. We all have to eat first and some of us don't earn enough money to donate to a free project. Donations are a luxury to me.

Don't judge, 99% of the people using Lemmy and its various instances will never donate. We contribute happily through our posts.
