I think you have had a bad experience. Since I took the charge of critical philosophy program, I made sure all instructors get paid on time and it worked. Some people might be unhappy with the remuneration but at least everyone gets paid the same and on time.

Great, everybody gets paid the same regardless of quality. How is this superior to a donation model again?

The donation model is based on a person's clout. X has more clout and gets more donations. Y is a far more talented person but doesn't have the recognition, so Y gets less donations. You need a system to distribute the funds so both X and Y get the same remuneration and teach.

That would beg the question why Y has less recognition if they're more talented than X, or introduce the reverse problem with people contributing little but still leeching from the pool of funds.

Welcome to the shitscape of education. This is the hard problem and you can't bypass it by moaning or saying all institutions are evil.

It's not a hard problem and people have bypassed it. You just lack ambition, lamenting supposedly immutable facts of academia when there are more tools than ever to solve these hurdles.

Individual people can bypass it but if you want a systematic approach to education, you need a system for supporting newcomers and not just yourself. You seem to be hung up on some sort of libertarian model which is too narrow for such purposes.

You can call it what you like I suppose. I don't see anything necessarily libertarian about a donation based model.

You still didn't answer my question. How does the donation model works for someone who is not known at all but is doing a great work. If it works then to what extent?

You didn't answer mine, why is this hypothetical genius not well known if their work is so great?

Because the more specialized you get in these fields, the more obscure you become. Example: perhaps one of the greatest philosophers of our time is Irad Kimhi. Still hardly anyone knows him even after NYT wrote about him. For years he couldn't get any sort of gig or job.

Being brilliant is not the same as having clout. I know tons of people who are working in various fields and are superb but they just are not into careerism or clout-mining. These are the people who should be brought to foreground and supported.
