Sure, but don't people that write important messages deserve to live?
I've never been paid for mine. Get a job.
Being a journalist is their job.
Why do you think that journalists don't deserve to live by being journalists?
Why don't you do your job for free? Why don't doctors work for free if their job is so important.
Also, where are your alleged "important messages"? I would like to read them.
Btw, I had never heard of your Karl guy but he does get paid for his work. Because of course he does. He even has a patreon.
And I wouldn't really call talking about speedruns to be important messages.
Think I should be paid for when I just do what's right when it's right? Rewarded maybe but idk about as a profession. Open source devs rarely get a payroll and they contribute to the world far more than payroll devs. Information is only good when it's free.
