I actually made, IIRC, $500 from a comment I made on a HN post. The story is here: https://www.rosshartshorn.net/stuffrossthinksabout/nyt_opinion/ https://www.

I actually made, IIRC, $500 from a comment I made on a HN post. The story is here: https://www.rosshartshorn.net/stuffrossthinksabout/nyt_opinion/ https://www.rosshartshorn.net/stuffrossthinksabout/nyt_opini... TL;DR I got asked by the NYT to expand my comment into an opinion piece, the NYT then changed my writeup of my opinion a bunch which was annoying but it was still basically my opinion. Anyway, I got paid for my time.
