Even if that's a mere 0.1% willing to pay a dollar per year, that's still enough to pay a few freelancers
Actually, its only $18,000 a year (18,000,000 * 0.001).
The would have to charge a lot more than that to pay anyone anything.
A thousand dollars a month pays for quite some freelance gigs though.
The Upwork/fiverrr economy is brutal.
Also, go ask a freelance writer how much they make. Or the girl in your coffeeshop or the guy behind the bar. There are many jobs that pay peanuts in Europe or America.
