But it also means that the author doesn't need to try harder. They should print the story they write and rewrite themselves, and if nobody wants to buy it, they should try harder or give up. If they need assistance in that I don't see why they expect to be able to make enough of an income out of writing to do nothing else.
I'm sure that all the people that are pro giving donations to the authors assume that the story was written by the author, otherwise they would also want to pay the editors.
