Even though I live what I do, getting paid is literally the only reason I go to work. If they did not pay me, I would not go.

I like my job. If I wasn't getting paid, I'd still be doing it. Just not for them.

Exactly this. I have several hobby projects that use the same skill set as my job, because I enjoy doing it.

I would quit my job on the spot and spend much more time on my other projects if I didn't need the money.

Same here.

But I always get told that people need the threat of starvation and homelessness to do anything at all.

The same kind of thinking that gets you to people needing the threat of burning in a pit for eternity to behave ethically.
