The podcasters were weighing the cost to themselves vs. the benefit to the podcaster.
If the podcaster was poor and the listener was rich, the cost/benefit tradeoff favors paying. The listener feels happy to be supportive.
If the situation were reversed, the math swings the other way. A principled listener might pay, but wouldn't necessarily feel happy about it.
