Your reasoning is flawed...

Gawker has a rant today about why bloggers should stop writing for free. While they aren't necessarily talking to me--with my six subscribers and my lack of interest in making money from this venture--they forget that at the heart of blogging to begin with was people expressing their personal thoughts. I'm talking LiveJournal, angsty emo-type postings from early 2000. 

The problem now is people are trying to make money out of these ventures. They say 'gee, people like me, how can I profit from this?' It's the American Dream, and it's unavoidable. It should not be, however, law. Let the people post, I say!
