But you can't force people to donate, so you pay people to entice them, with inflation like it is a cookie and cup of juice ain't enough for even my time

Yes, and notably, this isn't about regular blood donation. Plasma donation specifically is a time consuming process, taking 1-2 hours. I don't think not compensating regular blood donors results in the same kind of shortage.
