Do you think you deserve to be paid for this comment? No? Then what are you arguing about.

But while we're name-calling, you have to be pretty daft and technically illiterate to think that "creating content" is difficult, or even an ends to anything. Please stop.

PS: I'm not a programmer.

"content" has a very wide meaning and there are millions of people who have worked incredibly hard on content you read and watch online.

Surely you understand this? Or are you only consuming meme gifs or something?

>"Surely you understand this?"

It's my whole point. Being a "content creator" is irrelevant, and not deserving of making money. Billions of people are creating content all day, every day. The vast majority of it is crap.

Good content creators will find a way to get paid. So, going back to the original comment:

"Do you expect content producers to get paid"

No. I don't "expect" it, and neither should they. If you can't get people to support the content generation, perhaps you overestimate its value?

>Or are you only consuming meme gifs or something?

Not sure what your point is, but it seems like you think meme creators deserve to get paid, not me. After all, they are "creating content", and I'm blocking their ads too.
