If you think your message is important, you shouldn't bury it. Their message isn't important. Their message is just to bring in money. "Journalists" can fuck right off. A real journalist is someone in the right place at the right time and telling about it because it's important, not to make a career out of it. Consider Karl Jobst. He's a journalist. He's even getting paid. You know what he's not doing? That'd be sitting in an office promoting a website with a subscription fee. Jobbers are not journalists.
I've never been paid for mine. Get a job.
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.
