Why the Web 2.0 and media elite are so upset about paying amateurs (or "I'm sorry, does Mike Arrington work for free?") (The Jason Calacanis Weblog)

Jul 21st 2006 3:01PM I don't see what the issue is.

What Jason basically is looking for is editors that submit stories to the best of the web to netscape, whether they are from digg or reddit or something else. yeah, sure, it's social bookmarking, but that's just another name for being an editor, because you're presenting the best of the web to readers, and that's something most readers want -- to be told what to do. Hell, i've worked at places where we had editors that would do exactly the same thing, and at some point, I would think these people will be worth more money than the $1,000 per month Jason's proposing.

I think it takes a lot of courage to say, "hey, this web 2.0 is a scam because many of these companies have built their businesses on the backs of volunteers," which is something that a lot of people (Us, Robert Scoble, countless others) have said in the past. They only difference between web 1.0 and web 2.0 is that web 2.0, they've figured out to cut the labor costs out of it, and call it "community."

Somehow dismissing logic basically means you've drank the kool-aid and bought into Web 2.0. Fool me once, it's your fault, fool me twice, it's my fault (or something like that).

Whatever. Mike Arrington is a pinhead and soon to be Bastard of the Blogs, right after we get Mark Cuban out.

(Sorry Jason ;))
