Hi Mathew,

I do not think there is anything wrong with people getting paid for their work. I think good work should be recognized and one way to earn such recognition is monetary. Nothing wrong with doing what you love and getting paid for it.

Thanks for the comment, Rohan. I would agree, but I think there are going to be tensions there that will be interesting to watch.

I believe that paid and unpaid can usefully coexist. Each digg, Netscape, or similar site has votes representing the tastes of its particular set of users, its community. So if the digg community happens to pick out stories that suit me, more than the Netscape community does, digg is where I'll be. Even if I and the rest of my community don't get paid.
