Wasn't about me, but as it happens, I wrote for free on the side for quite a number of years before I got a paying job doing this. I doubt I made $5,000 over the first decade I wrote on the web. You write for publicity; publicity gets you a paying job.

Publicity is not actually the reason most journalists get into journalism. But that is the view of many non-journalists who get into journalism.

There is also critical diff btw opinion/cultural criticism vs. researched & sourced journalism. But what Dan says has merit here. I'm stubborn in that I never write anywhere except for money as a policy, but it took me a decade to get to the point where now I can *dictate* that.

Your argument has a binary that I don’t understand. Is your point that the industry * should * work that way or merely that it does work that way? I think Ron’s point is it shouldn’t, and this odd man arguing with him keeps making a different point.

I too would like a different world. ButI guess I don't think that the idea that working hard even late or on weekends is going to put you ahead is crazy or anything other than common sense, even as I realize that some can't do it and employers will take advantage.

You’re making a much more nuanced point than the reflexive Karl Marx ho-ho-ho reference.

My point about Marx was actually not really disagreeing with you so much as observing that journalists - even writers for big NY newspapers - have been complaining about the money forever.

“Complaining about the money” is not at all what this discussion is. But okay.
