Note that this, like ad blocking or piracy, also doesn’t help fund the creators.

If you’re indeed “going without” you have no obligation to fund the creators?
Is the goal to fund more creators, or just to have fewer people with a supposed obligation to fund creators?
Well, I dunno what goals you have, but my goals include paying for the content I read and not paying for the content I don't. This is something I already do. Paying multiple parties for access to content isn't some maddening problem where the masses are crying out for a solution. Perhaps I'm utterly missing the point in this thread?
That's well and good, but I don't mean your goals for yourself. I'm asking what our goals are (or what they ought to be) for how people broadly interact with creative works which are easily copyable.
