Don't get me wrong, I know what you are saying on fan commitment, however... This is something I cannot agree on.

To start, "money" is only the most direct method of putting something back into their fandom and the most important of them all. there are.... other ways... these promote vocaloid and this gets the software attention. Still the money thing is ultimately the problem right now with of the companies making vocaloids, its a reality. Nothing in life is without cost... Even things that appear to be free have requirements... TV that is free, afterall, still needs to be watched on a TV.

Money is sadly the reason why the software is held back. "fans" have to face this with any fandom, that if not enough "fans"put something into their thing their the fan of, then the thing eventually fades and fizzles away. Even the producers need to earn a living.

However, "fans" also can be the sole root and cause of something gaining a cult following, being remembered and in turn this leads to other things more what they like. Nostalgia is one of the biggest reasons can often lead to some particular progress. Its the reason why TV shows can re-emerge after being on hiatus for years... Thus a fan can put something back into the things their a fan of, without even realizing it.

But once again... All this falls back onto the shoulders of "your responsible for your own actions". How you act, is another thing. But hey, look... By commenting on the wikia, 'fan to fan' (you and I) you have put something back into your fandom, consider that.
