Yes I can, and do, expect to get payed for my post. I put in the time and effort. Time is worth something to me. If others want to wait until that "one day", then they are welcome to do so. I expect something for my time. No if's, ands or buts about it...
I have been blogging for several years now, (since 2012) and put out quality content. I walked across America for charity and blogged about it.
My wages were the views of those wanting to change their communities for the better. I didnt place ads on my blog.
This is different because I am taking time out of my day to post, vote, and comment. I need to see that this is a fair platform, and not a place where the rich get richer, and the poor get pennies...
