Not the same situation. I've arranged financial help for long-term suppliers, before, to keep them afloat while reestablishing themselves, after they lost a big customer or went solo.

Apparently, people view her as a trusted supplier and don't want her to go work at McDonald's or learn to code. That is not your problem. She apparently does have marketable skills. That is why she has customers willing to help her, so that she doesn't reorient herself.

This is the free market, at work. Nobody is being forced to finance her lifestyle.

Her audience is financing her. Her audience is not her employer if she is marketing. It's different. Her audience is being fleeced because her employer no longer sees value in her.
