I'm not sure if you're trolling or just being obtuse.
They are not begging for money - they are asking to be compensated with a fair amount for the work that they do, the same as any employee would do.
When they started the role the salary might have been enough to cover their living expenses, however, with inflation and other increasing costs this may no longer be the case so they are simply asking the company to review their pay. So far, the efforts on either side haven't been enough, so they've withdrawn their labour.
