should freelance writers get paid more than minimum wage?
it's a wild question, i know, but a lot of people seem to think it's OK that freelancer's rates have FALLEN every year
and when indie pubs try to pay even average rates, y'all complain about paywalls, which tells me your answer is "no!"

Where do people buy audiobooks and ebooks? This is where No Meat Required still sells but as I’m not a user of these (paper forever), I don’t know what to recommend. Bookshop.org for ebooks, I’m guessing!

complaining about paywalls on independent media is literally an endorsement for billionaire controlled media — *and* vocal opposition to the future we need if we want to build something outside their monopolies on public discourse, periodddd
We do have a paywall, and that's because journalism has a cost. We pay all our contributors 0.50c a word & the founders haven't been compensated for the year, so we do ask for people to pay for our content. We still haven't made a profit this year, so we are unapologetic about that.
