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.

Put differently - you refuse to work without getting paid now because that’s actually what it should be, people paid for their work.

Well, yeah. When I was a young lawyer, 9 to 5 was called "part time."
