Had to ask the same to the woke caster community. 

What's an example of people paying for curation (vs. creation)?

The best answer I saw was "museums" https://i.imgur.com/NDRFegv.png

Paying for streaming services in some ways amounts to this in my understanding..

The curated playlists that are updated on the major streaming services are a form of paying for curation if the users return to these playlists often.

And removing ads is also a form of curation.
