That is far from irrelevant, they get paid for doing this, maybe even live off of it, that is exactly the point Pachter was making.


yeah but markets change.

People bitched that they lost their jobs when machines came in, but eventually they got over it and found other jobs.

People who live off advertising will do the same... they will whine for a bit and then find another way to make money. Nothing lasts forever.

Which is also exactly the point Pachter was making, if there's no money in the internet anymore then the content creators will go somewhere else.
