Why shouldn't people be able to get paid for their work? No one is forcing you to pay them; it's just the same as anything else has been: If you want the product of someone's labor, you pay them what they ask for.
- tyingq 10y agoThey can get paid. It's just whether they should enjoy free traffic from a search engine when their content isn't free. At the very least, if there's a possibility I'm hitting a paywall, the search engine should put a [paid content] label on the search result.
- CaptSpify 10y agoWhere did anyone say that they can't get paid for their work?
- st3v3r 10y agoThe guy who said that he wants paywalled sites punished for trying to get paid for their work.
- CaptSpify 10y agoNobody said that. OP said that he wishes google would penalize sites with paywalls, but that has nothing to do with sites getting paid for their work. There are many ways to get paid for your work without using a bait-and-switch method where you show google a different page than the one you are showing to your users.
- st3v3r 10y agoI completely disagree. Google punishing sites for using paywalls will have the affect of making it harder for people to get paid for their work. And I don't believe that having a paywall is in any way a "bait-n-switch".
- CaptSpify 10y agoYou can disagree all you want. It's still a fact that nobody is saying what you are claiming. Sure, it makes it harder for people to get paid, the same way that it's hard for me to get paid if I advertise this: http://i.imgur.com/fvKbzDZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fvKbzDZ.jpg but when you arrive, I try to sell you this: http://i.imgur.com/MkhP1MW.jpg http://i.imgur.com/MkhP1MW.jpg
