I don’t see the resemblance?

When I purchase a book I explicitly trade money for that book. Not the book before, not the book after, specifically that book.

When I donate money via Patreon or similar services I do it to support a creator not as part of an exchange for a product or service.

In both instances there’s perhaps a hope for more attached to it but that’s roughly where the resemblance ends.

They said, I don’t think it’s a matter of GRRM being too busy counting his money.

He clearly still likes being involved with the universe seeing as he’s working on all these ASOIF projects.

I just think the show’s ending put a domper on it for him, especially since his writing method is very much driven by his own curiosity in wanting to know how things develop and having the story come together organically.

I do think its valid to say everyone's crash out about how the show ended probably capped his pen. And the crazy thing is the show ending honestly wasn't bad at all. It was a bit rushed, yes, but it mostly made sense to me.
