I'm going with a hot take: these kinds of products should be supported by tax dollars, not with individual donators/payers. The market doesn't solve the problem of public goods, it just makes it worse.

Then you get into the situation like in US today, where a party/person can just cancel it entirely out of spite.

There is no one-fix solution for this.

There's a framework that works, also, there's a framework that would prevent the current problems. Obviously, some problems are easier to solve if there's something that you can trust to fundamentally work.
