Pure straw man argument.

Nobody is talking about “automatic compensation”. Nobody is getting paid for putting “one make on a paper” if nobody wants to buy it.

People get to price their works. If you don’t like the price or don’t think it’s worth it, you don’t pay for it. Nobody gets “automatic compensation” if nobody wants to buy their work. These are such obvious ground truths that you’re ignoring for the sake of trying to make a strained point.

Sorry, you’re not entitled to the output of other people’s labor for free, just like I’m not entitled to the output of your labor for free.

Royalty relates to copyright sufficiently enough to not make this a straw man.
