    I miss when people made stuff because they loved making stuff, not because they wanted to get rich.

    Sort of like how girls used to post sexy photos of themselves because they wanted attention, now they do it to get rich.

      They still do, but you’ll never find it in the existing layout. The only stuff that bubbles to the surface is so heavily SEO engineered and hyper-monetized that it’s got to be sixteen ads on the back of an infomercial in order to break even.
