An actor with a monetary incentive will always aim towards maximizing their financial outcome.
Who wouldn't?

If you're writing for the joy of writing (intrinsic motivation) and then start getting paid for it (attaching an extrinsic motivation to it) the original "for the joy of X" tends to get lost.
It isn't a "who wouldn't" but rather a "why would you".

Assuming that was a rhetorical question, but since there is a whole "homo economicus" theory of mind out there I'll answer anyway; An actor with other incentives beyond just monetary ones, like physical, social, or philosophical incentives.
Arguably Twitter with non-algorithmic timeline and a bit of judicious blocking worked really well for this, but even that's on the way out now.

People could in theory have done this at any time in the PGP era, but never bothered. I'm not convinced the incentives work, especially once you bring money in.
