I understand how important it is , to monetize things for one’s livelihood.

But 9/10 times, the best content comes from people who dont care a cent about how much people will pay them for what they write, and instead just focus on writing well and making a point.

I appreciate every open blog/newsletter/rss feed out there, who keeps its content up 24/7 for people to read and see through.

Thanks to all of you who do that, its always been one of the best ways to get great content.

And i wish the segment who’s overly obsessed about monetising every single interaction of human civilisation, good luck.

Agree. Always felt the best content comes from people who aren't interested in profiting off it, aside from reputationally.

Blogspam authors: If you block ads we won't be able to afford to make content.

Me: Good, I'd rather your "content" not exist.
