Fractal Fanatic
Only folks with talent to inspire buyers to post glowing reviews &/or clips will have any sustainable business selling presets, or most anything for that matter.
Folks that want everyone to post everything for free, or to just put a donate button......usually aren't the ones creating things people want.
Also.....if someone's talent is taking ideas/settings from other folks presets & then ending up with something that sounds different enough &/or better to enough folks, then they have essentially created their own preset. Giving some "inspired by" credit would be cool of course.....
Song writing, for example, is all about taking/stealing/being inspired from all that you've heard before & then calling the finished product your own.....but being clever enough in your composition to avoid being sued
