The trope of starving artists is real, but not because people dont want to pay artists. It's because artists are retarded businessmen.
Exhibit A: I want to buy a print of "Loneliness In The Night" by Valery Rybakow. He's an excellent impressionist painter from Belorussia. I have money. I know exactly what I want. I am literally the take-my-money meme. Like most artists, this guy is a retarded businessman. If this guy made toilet plungers or bottle caps, it'd take me under 30 seconds to find a way to buy them. But he's an artist, so after THREE HOURS I have yet to find a way to buy a print of the painting.
Dear artists: stop making fifty half-assed social media accounts and make a way to take my money.
