Micropayments

Artists should be paid for their work but I'd rather pay one full amount rather than little itty bits through a long time process. Of course if it's super expensive then I won't pay for it, but if I can get it for completely free then I'd probably just get it for free. It's the whole "process" of micropayments that I don't have the patience for. Either it's free or its not, i'm not into this "almost" or "its like" free business. I don't mind paying for good work if that's the only way I can get it. Also, I'm a student and don't exactly have just wads of cash laying around. If my financial situation was different then I'm sure my mentality would be different. I know it's probably a lame exscuse but it's the truth. My apologies if I offended anybody.
