Hipster Welfare 

Living off of monthly donations from Patreon for bad art or 'important work', usually of the social justice variety, which is often subpar or unsellable otherwise. Basically, receiving the financial equivalent of a pity fuck.

"He'd be flipping burgers instead of complaining on his blog if it wasn't for hipster welfare."
