Context? CCXXXIV

During a fund raising drive today, a DJ appealed to the consciences of those who listen but don't pledge any money.  She said doing that is like being the person who doesn't contribute to a group project.

I thought, "That's a valid comparison.  However, not everyone can afford to contribute, and your station is broadcasting its programming for free, so..."

What if you're a former contributor who hasn't been able to spare money for the station in recent years?  Would the DJ say you shouldn't listen or should listen only sparingly?
