why is any content creator/writer/artist paid anything at all...?
Because it is like that thing the really awesome Nordic blogger whose name I cannot remember might have said: writing a blog is a way of attracting cool people to come hang out with you.
Writers probably aren't gonna get paid for writing any more. They get paid for their network. To be a part of it. To access it.
Because also: writing hasn't ever been about quantity. Its about the weird quality of that specific string of words that make me feel something or come to hold a thought in my own mind which was not previously there - and maybe couldn't have gotten there any other way.
So get out there and lay your words down in that way that's only yours so that you can keep us all hanging on them and they monetize that network, baby.
