Not at all what I expected. I was imagining some new explanation for why people some people copy blog posts and present them as their own. That, in my mind, counts as "getting ripped off". But the fact that a writer is not able to generate high advertising revenues--how does that constitute ripping him off?
In any case, I figure that, if intent harvesting is where the money is on the net, then those who want to make lots of money on the net ought to do intent harvesting, rather than complain about how whatever they are doing is not lucrative.
Or am I missing something?
- lawrence 17y agoAgreed. Ripped off implies something unfair or sneaky. There's nothing to prevent content producers from moving down the sales funnel.
- ggchappell 17y agoAn update, just in case anyone happens to look at this thread: After a bit of thought, I figure I'm not so much opposed to complaining: if you think something ought to be better-paying, well, then, you're entitled to your opinion. On the other hand, that is different from the idea that those who make little money are somehow being treated unethically (which is what "ripped off" would seem to imply).
