They still pierce you to remove blood and you get paid for it, don't you? I don't think "it's just the plasma" makes much of a difference.

They pierce you to remove blood
and put it back
. You get to keep all the non-plasma components - blood cells, etc.

It does with respect to how frequently you're able to donate. In the UK, blood donation can be no more frequent than once every 12 weeks (for men). Plasma can be donated up to once every 2 weeks.
