What happens when you say that writing for free is wank
On Twitter, that disgusting tool for middle-class bloggers, young enough to vote Lib Dems, but about to start voting Tory, Surreal Football was dismissed for saying that writing for free is bad. What ridiculous people Surreal Football are, the blogging “community” suggested.
The opinion was dismissed as trying to be cool. As Surreal Football often is. But that, of course, is how to deal with an argument which you cannot tackle head-on – suggest that it isn’t a valid argument somehow. Or it was dismissed as unrealistic – Twitter’s amateur writers declared that there was no better way to become professional than to write for free.
That is the extent of the ideological victory for big business. The people they exploit defend them against those that speak to expose it. Fucking hell.
