- edw 15y agoDo you feel the same way about any profitable company that runs Apache or FreeBSD? I don't understand your sentiment, which seems quite common. These unpaid bloggers on HuffPo have in aggregate contributed almost nothing of durable value to civilization (and I think I'm being generous, as someone whose politics are not incompatible with your typical HuffPo reader or contributor, in assuming the net contribution has been positive) while the contributions of these developers have been enormous and transformative to our society. Unpaid bloggers of the world, stop writing! You have nothing to lose but the time you've wasted adding noise to a vapid cacophony.
