Yeah, content creators here know that the mass market on Renderosity is the hobbiest, so prices have to match accordingly to accomodate the consumers.

I personally learned how to model to keep me from having to buy so much. Starting a store and selling came later, after peple in the chat room convinced me to.

As for the donate button, I've noticed some with them in their forum signatures, but if they're like me, very few, if any, actually donate.
